Where did you run the scan from? If you ran it from green, then it is perfectly normal for ports to be shown as open, if however you ran it from red, then this is more of a concern, although UDP scans are much less reliable than TCP scans due to the fact that UDP does not contain error correction, whilst TCP does. samuel -- I Must be really old in dog years!!
