Great Port Checker

This is a great tool to check the ports on your machine for security holes.
Identify Open Ports on Your Internet Connection

The port forwarding tester is a utility used to identify your external IP address and detect open ports on your connection. This tool is useful for finding out if your port forwarding is setup correctly or if your server applications are being blocked by a firewall. It is important to note that some ports, such as port 25, are often blocked at the ISP level in an attempt to prevent malicious activity.
