I have a firewall running (Guarddog) and all seems well and good except for three ports. If I run nmap or any of the online checks @ various sites, it shows me as having three ports open.

? is, is there anything I can do to close them or stop them showing as open, since if I block them then I lose my net access completely. I have the ports monitored so that I should spot anything untoward happening but i'd rather take 'should' out of the equation completely, if that's possible, and replace it with something a little more definite.

Iptables/chains is the thing that can do just such a task, you may have the documentation installed it's at linuxdoc any way, or search for tutorials on ipchains/tables.
