Are some ISPs inserting a "customer" firewall for all, or maybe specific users when they connect up?
I ask because of checks with the Gibson Research site grc.com which you know gives a portscan check and shows you green/other colours if you have some type of firewall working/not working.
Trying different firewall rules on router I ran a check and showed green-full stealth, best result.
I disabled all rules and - still showed green.
No router.
I booted a Live CD with no running software firewall - green!
Another Live with software firewall and its own logging. Still grc.com gave a green and nothing notable in the log.
This was with plus.net and three 3G.
