I recently did a Nmap scan of my Vista laptop from my Win XP Pro desktop (nmap -v -v -sT xx. xx. xx. xx) and it showed ports 21, 25, 110, 119, 143 open. i dont have a mail or FTP server on my laptop, nor do i use an email client or FTP program. i tried deleting those portopenings through netsh and adding a firewall rule to block those ports. i reran the same scan and it still showed them open. i dont know why those ports are open, but i would like to pass the nmap scan with no open ports. Thanks in advance.
