*No* open ports on my machine?!? — obviously rediculous

Hi,

I used the port scanner on this site. I was hoping to find if and what ports my ISP is blocking. The response of a couple of versions of the test was:

Quote:

This Port Scanner will help your find holes (open ports) on your firewall and provide information related to those ports.

We scanned the ports you requested, looking for any services or viruses that might be running on them, and did not find anything

This indicates that no ports are open, which is rediculous because at least web page porst (port 80?) must be open otherwise I wouldn’t be able to access the port scan on this site in the first place, right? I’m not even using any firewall software.

So what’s going on there? How can I find out which ports are being blocked by my ISP, if any?

Thanks.

    Yes, you are right, when you surf the internet, you are hitting port 80 on my site, but that does not mean port 80 is open on your end. So, no, it’s not rediculous.
