Can anyone suggest a good way to test which ports are blocked on my
machine? I'm not much of a programmer, nor am I an expert on routers and
TCP. Any help is appreciated.

For a specific example, how can I check if packets bound to my computer
on port 5000 are getting through? I used nmap to portscan all ports from
1-6000, but the highest port it detected open was 1720 (GM was running
at the time). I think that no program was listening on port 5000 at the
time. How can I tell the difference between no program listening on a
port, and the port being blocked?
