Sounds like you have some statics configured and/or some acls. Or maybe your scanner is not so good ?

No, it's Languard! It's designed to scan networks and not security through a firewall. It just picks up everything on your local network. We had a customer that thought that a firewall had over twenty ports open and showed us the output from Languard. When we checked it with NMAP it was absolutely fine and so we decided to download Languard and give it a try. When we did the same test with Languard it picked up loads of stuff that wasn't even running on the remote network that we were scanning but was on our network so we had to conclude that it wasn't designed for this purpose and that anyone who wants to do a serious port scan should just stick to NMAP.
