I thought a service had to be listening for the port to be open. So from nmap, there is no way to tell the difference between a port that isn't blocked by a firewall and one that is listening? > firewall is not configured/running on your server itself, then you may > be alright.

If I enter the server's IP appended with one of the port numbers listed above into a web browser, I get: "tinyproxy 1.6.0 The page you requested was unavailable. The error code is listed below. In addition, the HTML file which has been configured as the page to be displayed when an error of this type was unavailable, with the error code 14 (Bad address). Please contact your administrator.
