WinXP is controlled by Mircosoft, you even have to call them for the code to install your computer or to even reinstall it. I also heard that they have spyware in there that can't be removed or your computer will crash. This spyware keeps track of everything you do on there so they can sell your information to companies who are related to it. Lets take an SNES emulator for example. Their spyware detects it and they sell your info to game companies, which is how you get lots of annoying e-mails about stupid stuff. It's just like AOL's screwed up software.

Your Internet port 139 does not appear to exist!
One or more ports on this system are operating in FULL STEALTH MODE! Standard Internet behavior requires port connection attempts to be answered with a success or refusal response. Therefore, only an attempt to connect to a nonexistent computer results in no response of either kind. But YOUR computer has DELIBERATELY CHOSEN NOT TO RESPOND (that's very cool!) which represents advanced computer and port stealthing capabilities. A machine configured in this fashion is well hardened to Internet NetBIOS attack and intrusion.

Unable to connect with NetBIOS to your computer.
All attempts to get any information from your computer have FAILED. (This is very uncommon for a Windows networking-based PC.) Relative to vulnerabilities from Windows networking, this computer appears to be VERY SECURE since it is NOT exposing ANY of its internal NetBIOS networking protocol over the Internet.

My cable modem, or my router, or BOTH, have built-in firewalls (supposedly), which was probably why I couldn't play on Diablo 2 games online back when I had win98.

Though I'm not sure about that one closed one.

Thanks for the link anyway.

Attempting connection to your computer. . .
Shields UP! is now attempting to contact the Hidden Internet Server within your PC. It is likely that no one has told you that your own personal computer may now be functioning as an Internet Server with neither your knowledge nor your permission. And that it may be serving up all or many of your personal files for reading, writing, modification and even deletion by anyone, anywhere, on the Internet!

All ports are not responding.
There are ways to detect if there's a computer behind a IP even if they have a firewall though.
