Guest RJK Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Is anyone familiar with this adsl modem/router and it's NAT, ...and other settings. It's being distributed by TalkTalk ISP here in the UK. http://www.huawei.com/products/terminal/products/view.do?id=121&pageId=121_0 I rummaged through, and checked it's settings as best I could and NAT is on but, the rest of the settings look nothing like I've ever seen before, ...well I recognized most of them :-( Using Steve Gibsons port probing job at http://www.grc.com/default.htm the machine to which the above mentioned modem/router is connected got a "failed" on his Common Ports check. The results screen for the check on the common service ports responded with lots of them being responding "blocked" instead of not responding / "stealthed," and that port 80 was wide open. It was on this machine, about which I posted on MS NG's a short while ago, that I noticed that whilst progressing to the "ports checking" page at grc that URL changes from http:// to https:// and IE7's Internet Zone security slider disappears, ...perhaps it's normal for that slider to disappear when progressing from a non-SSL to a SSL link ? ....anyhow, any tips for security settings in this Huaywei would be helpful. regards, Richard
