Port Scanning



Thanks for reading this. Sorry if it's a dup: Netscape just crashed when I tried to send it before.

I'm curious about port-scanning, and have a question. Suppose someone is 
trying to find a hole in my firewall, and scans a port that I'm not 
running. Won't their scan come up "negative" for that port?

TIA.

Bill Horne
