DG834 and port scanning

Dear all
I have recently purchased a netgear dg834. When running the sygate scan
on my self i am finding it reports a lot of ports report as "closed" and
not "blocked". I known the dg834 is blocking these requests, but really
it should not even be responding in any way.

Any one else found this ?
The scanner can be found at the following address:
http://scan.sygate.com/quickscan.html

I use ShieldsUp at www.grc.com to test my ports. Before i installed
my Netgear DG834G I had 'Stealth' (i.e. not detectable) on all my
ports. Since the install, some of my ports now show 'closed'. I'd
like to know if they can be made 'stealth' again......
