I want to remotely examine if some servers are up.
I don't use the ping command because it gives a lot of wrong results like "destination host unreachable" and "request Timed out" due to bad networking infrastructure.
I try to use nmap command to examine servers by open ports. Nmap gives me the real opened ports, but when I turn off the server and the access point, nmap still reports it running.
I connects to the internet through a usb modem, and the destination host that I examine is connected to the internet through a TP-Link Access point with usb modem and a static IP.
When I turn off the remote access point completely and I run this command on my local machine :
nmap -p 80 -vv 105.198.224.47
Starting Nmap 7.01 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2017-01-31 11:54 EET

Nmap scan report for 105.198.224.47
Host is up, received syn-ack (0.55s latency).
Scanned at 2017-01-31 11:54:17 EET for 0s
PORT STATE SERVICE REASON
80/tcp open http syn-ack
Read data files from: /usr/bin/../share/nmap
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.78 seconds
And when put the ip in a browser it gives:
"This site can’t be reached"
"The connection was reset."
This happens in both situations when it is turned on and turned off, However i don't setup any http server on the host.
traceroute when the access point is turned on gives:

running traceroute when the access point turned off gives the same result but the changes only in values of milli seconds ms.
So, what the explanation of this behaviour?
