OptOut's site is one of the best.

Why do you believe that the ports are not "open".

It could well be that your Firewall itself is responding to services on
those ports (such as http:80) which triggers these programs to tell you
that services are available there.

It's up to you to decide if you want to service requests on those ports
directly from your firewall...

|Hi Guys
|
|Is there as site that you can use to test the effectiveness of 
|a firewall. 
|The ones I have looked at all seem to find open ports which I 
|think might be 
|a sales pitch ?
