Closing Ports

[beanz]

Is it possible to manually close an open port in Invision?

The reason i ask is tonight i got kicked from a server because i was supposedly running a clone!?! Port 1099 was open and hadn't been earlier, so i can only assume someone was using a clone through my system...

any thoughts?

Also note that a clone is simply someone with the same IP/DNS as you. If you're at college, this covers basically everyone on campus. Same for if you're at most workplaces. Or, if you rejoin from a disconnect while your original connection has not yet disconnected, then you are a clone of your original connection.

If you want to see what uses each port, use google to look up "port xxxx" and see what you find. Not all ports are available to easily look up, but most main ones are; especially if it is virus/trojan related.
