Just wondering if anyone could give me advise on the best place to go to do a firewall test.

We have 2 computers running of a dlink router(1 mine,the other my dads),and i read in a post by panic that some tests only test up to the router.I am trying to convince me old man that comodos free firewall is superior to his paid for CA firewall.Am i correct when i see ports are listening that them ports will only accept data from the application asking,as i seem to have 3 ports associated with my ATI graphics card/program listening but have never sent or received any data.Any advise would be much appreciated.

kind regards Matty

In addition to the tests mentioned by rickyg, you can use nmap-online.com (in open-source) where you can customize your own tests.
For example, you can do an UTP port scan, impersonating a DNS server.

Hope this can help,
