Hmm... of my first 1056 ports only one was visible and it was closed... wonder if it has anything to do with port forwarding... but its a different port number then the single port I'm forwarding...

The ports I have set up on port forwarding failed- they were closed but weren't hidden... so now I really wonder why that one port in the 1-1056 range isn't hidden... hmm...

nevermind...

Authentication Service / Identification Protocol

Description:

Auth/Ident servers — which are supposed to run on the local user's machine — open port 113 and listen for incoming connections and queries from remote machines. These querying machines provide a local and remote "port pair" describing some other already-existing connection between the machines. The user's "ident" server is tasked with looking up and returning the connection's "USER ID" and perhaps additional information, such as an eMail address, full name, or whatever.

I assume thats my remote desktop enabled.
