Please read RFC 792. "Stealth ports" are just misunderstanding protocols.
If there is no machine behind a router, you're getting a message - ICMP
host unreachable or ICMP network unreachable. If there is a host, you're
getting a message, too - ICMP port unreachable or TCP RST. If you're
getting no message, then there is a host with a b0rken "Personal Firewall"
and "stealthing" nonsense, or a b0rken network provider.

As an approximation. If you want to know, how a TCP handshake works
exactly, and what the different possibilities for that are, you could
read RFC 793.
