Firewall 2.4 - GRC Shields Up problem [resolved]

Help for v2
1

I ran a test with HackerWatch.org and it said that

[b]25 (SMTP Mail Server Port) [/b] was [b]Closed but Unsecure[/b]: [b]This port is not being blocked, but there is no program currently accepting connections on this port.[/b]

But ran a test with GRC’s ShieldsUp and found:

[b]25 Stealth smtp Simple Mail Transfer Protocol[/b]

What should I do.

No router. I ran the HackerWatch probe last month and 25 (SMTP Mail Server Port) was Stealthed. But I ran it today to find it was only closed.

Problem solved. :BNC
I just ran the scan again today to find it was stealthed.
That was weird!!! (:SAD)
