Thanks Pep, I did use the personal firewall and set it for modem masg in "reject all connections" thing. I think that is right and should take care of it, but not sure yet. I would still like to figure out how to close those open ports though. There must be a simple command to do so or setting you can change in one of the config files?

The easiest you can do is to setup the personal firewall and this should close all incomming connections.
To test that it is efectively closed you should check your ports connection from outside. Don't scan your ports from your own host.
If you get any error messages while booting the firewall check that it is the personal firewall (not SuSEfirewall or SuSEfirewall2) and check your config (is quite simple config).
