When I type netstat -ant I get the following:

Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign A
ddress         State
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:32768           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

...

How do I check that the firewall is not blocking port 631?
