Maxis blocks ALL incoming connections

I was running a 1-month trial for Maxis 3G you see?
It should have been obvious once the high-number ports i use for ed2k didn't work.
And even more obvious once i did the GRC scan of the 1st 1024 ports.
They sarcastically (ironic, yeah i know) congratulated on the perfectly "filtered" state of all my ports

to be sure all 65535 ports are blocked i did an nmap scan.

nmap -P0 -f 1-65535 my-ip-address

Starting nmap 3.93 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap ) at 2006-12-31 20:39 Malay Peninsula Standard Time

and after 13314.656 seconds...



All 65535 scanned ports on my-maxis-ip are: filtered

Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 13314.656 seconds


so there you have it!

Maxis 3g "filters" all your ports for you!
what excellent security!
