I don't see anything in my DLink setup menus about blocking a port (I may
need to look again more carefully), but I did go to Gibson Research
Shields Up web site, and I when they challenged Port 1900, it responded
with "Stealth." That usually means there is no evidence that a port (or
even a computer) exists at that IP address.

Should I take that as reassurance, or are more steps necessary?

Thanks,
Sandy
