Netgear WGT624 Security Question

[imported_michaelpatrick33]

I have a Netgear WGT624 wireless router with one wired and one wireless connected computer.

I use WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) for security

I have no port triggering or forwarding active and no ping accepting from the internet and mac address only connections to my router

I use Firefox almost exclusively but,

When I use Symantec to scan for security holes it detects ICMP, Port 80 (HTTP), Port22 (SSE) as being open on Internet Explorer (all the updates) and it won't test with Firefox.

When I use Gibson (www.grc.com) to test my ports it shows all stealthed (I use Zonealarm 5 Pro)

Is there something I am missing on my router security or is that just a Symantec/Norton/IE6 thing? Broadbanreports.com port scans show no ICMP return pings but I am using Firefox to do it.

I am worried about wireless security. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can try forwarding port 80 to a non-existant IP. There was a story a while back about a router allowing people from the outside to get to the admin page on the router. Not sure which models or brand though.

How do I do that exactly?

Even though my router program shows the ICMP is not enabled Norton says it is getting a ICMP. Do you know what is going on?

Thanks for your post!

Is the symantec thing something you run or a site you go to?

Not sure how to forward ports for your model. You should go to the admin page and there will be an option there to do it. And forward it to an IP address you aren't using (192.168.1.254 or something).
