how can i close my port 5000?

[Michael]

This port is used with UPnP which is closed by disabling
this service. My mcafee fireward test detected this port
also and it turned off UPnP for me. But you can just do
it yourself. Programs, Control Panel, Admin Tools,
Services and disable it.

Also, www.grc.com has a free tool to close UPnP which also
checks to see if it is presently running.
