mbDIALUP and mbCHECK have recently reported a closed port what is the cause?

 

To check if certain ports are accessible from a Windows system to a specific system, we use a long-established special test routine. We are currently observing that this routine is producing the following outputs even though the systems are well reachable:

  • Possible outputs in mbDIALUP :

  • Possible output in mbCHECK :

Recent tests have shown that these messages can occur even though the tested server is accessible. 

As of mbDIALUP version 3.9 R0.9, we have adapted the test behaviour. Please update your dialling-in software to the latest version.
