Re: AT&T Southeast dropping Internet randomly; Last Ditch Effort said by upb:BTW, I wonder why your router's http daemon is listening on port 50,001? That would tend to make me nervous.  Is it not common for a 2Wire Gateway to be listening on port 50001? I believe that port is used for remote management by 2Wire or the ISP. |

Maybe it is on that model, but I never encountered it with the 2Wire units I've owned (1000SW, 1800HG). I just read somewhere else that the management port can be disabled via the setup menus, so I guess it's kind of moot after all. |

Remote nmap and grc.com scans of my own routers never revealed any other ports opened, and I did take the time to scan through all possible tcp ports. These comments of course only apply to the two routers I owned (now both shelved), the 1000SW and the 1800HG. |
