okay, so I learned to scan a few months ago, at the time I had a dsl, and was using win2000, I moved like a mile away and was forced into a cable modem. Now if I run like angry ip scanner (my trusty companion for quite some time) I get all kinds of hits on ports like 21,23,10000,4899 etc...even 2103,2105,2107 which kinda dictates its a windows box...but after scanning 54 B class networks after moving I did not find a single 135,137,139,445- which I used to pick up all the time, even if I go back to previously scanned ranges, the same IPs will pop up but missing the windows ports... I have no firewall installed on my 2000 OS, I went to motorola's faq on the modem I have (one of those dealy's with the ethernet and the USB cable on it) thinking there may have been a build in something or another I had to bypass, but no such luck- anyway, looking for some input while I dig up a 56k modem and see what I can do on dial up.
oh coincidentally, utilities such as 'detect' (win2k/xp) no longer connect and fingerprint boxes that I had previously been able to exploit.
thanks a lot..and btw, I found an RADMIN brute forcer if anyone is interested -thanks a lot

Hm,you should contact your cable provider and ask if the connection has a port limitation. Many DSL- and cable-providers (not only the cheap ones) limit the maximum ammount of connections, so that users of P2P sharing networks can´t dl too much, these providers have mostly a pretty limited hardware and in doing so they save bandwidth. When you do a scan every port you contacted counts as a connection, so you reach the limit pretty fast.
It this is the reason you can try Winfingerprint, it´s a nice program for fingerprinting, but it also allows you to lower the TIME_WAIT-time of the ports.
You can also try to check your modem for a built-in firewall by connecting to its network-adress, in most cases it´s 192.168.0.1, but to be sure simply check netstat or use TcpView.

good lookin out, my 'zen and the art of motorcycle repair' tells me there has got to be soemthing else some where cause when I batch scan the way I usually do for 445,135,137,139,42,21,23,2103,2105,2107,6101,10000,4899.. I picked up all except those first four, so I tried putting them at the end and randomly interspersed in the list and still refused to find windows stuff...
and thankyou for the wording of a question that won't make me sound suspicious of not guilty =OP
