Open DNS Resolver problem

Hi all,

I have my Virgin Media hub set up as a modem and use my own router. I upgraded the router recently (go Black Friday) and since then I've been receiving warnings from VM about an open DNS resolver on my network.

It appears my router (Netgear RAXE300) leaves UDP port 53 open (all the TCP ports are closed). There is no DNS resolver behind it (I tried it) so there's no danger of any malicious traffic from it but does anyone know how to close that port. UPnP is disabled, as is WPS, I've only 1 port forwarded and I've tried turning the VPN server off, all to no avail.

Equally, is there a way to let VM know that this isn't an issue and they can stop emailing me about it.

Cheers,

Ian
