Hi there,

when you google for port scanner you will get tons of links to freeware scanners.

I myself am using Blue´s port scanner (www.BlueBitter.de) and am quite pleased with it.

There are also several web pages for online testing. (Look f.e. under dslreports.com Tools and Tests).

Hope this helps

Hi,

You can use a software called nmap that is a freeware and can be downloaded here: http://www.insecure.org/nmap/
