OK. I can stop sweating that I screwed something up and will have to dig much deeper into things with which I have only passing familiarity. I ran your command and got the same results. nmap -sT -p6969 -vv torrent.centos.org Starting nmap 3.70 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2007-12-18 19:19 EST Machine 66.147.238.146 MIGHT actually be listening on probe port 80 Initiating Connect() Scan against 66.147.238.146 [1 port] at 19:19 The Connect() Scan took 0.04s to scan 1 total ports. Host 66.147.238.146 appears to be up ... good. Interesting ports on 66.147.238.146: PORT STATE SERVICE 6969/tcp closed acmsoda Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.453 seconds > <snip sig stuff> Thanks again for the help. I'm gonna stash this command in my local bin and RTFM on that. BTW, the port scan also did not show the port open. But it sure took awhile, checking all those other ports too.
