Alan!, Alan!, Alan! ... Steve!, Steve!, Steve!  Grin 

 

To eliminate the possibility that perhaps either the Plusnet network, or Plusnet "Broadband Firewall" was inadvertently blocking these ports,  I've just run the GRC "ShieldsUP!" remote port scan, and I can confirm that my router firewall captured both TCP ports 5600 and 56000 being probed, with the Plusnet "Broadband Firewall" set to "Low".

 

So it looks like you need a Plusnet router expert, to guide you on how to configure port forwards. Cry

 

Good luck with that !  Undecided

Do you want to PM me your IP address (http://www.whatsmyip.org/), and I will tell you what appears on your TCP port 80 ?

Re: Port 5600 closed

Would this have something to do with the Ethernet Extender am running through?

Re: Port 5600 closed

No, it's not going to be the "Ethernet Extender"

 

The ShieldsUP! report is indicating that TCP port 80 (i.e. the http web interface) of your network is exposed and responding to unsolicited requests from ANYONE on the internet.

 

It is most likely displaying the web login screen of your router (where you type your username and password to get to it's settings).  Alternatively if you have a port forward already set up, then the web interface of the device (to which the port is forwarded) will be accessible to anyone on the internet.

 

Either way, having port-80 respond like that, means that anyone performing a remote port probe looking for networks to access, will know that you are there and responding.
