What ports are in use on my PC and ....

[Rupp]

Do any of you guys know how to tell what ports are in use on a PC and what is using them? I've tried a port scan but it only tells me what is being uses and not what is using them.

Pull up a command prompt window.
then run the command "netstat -a -b"
This shows all IP connections and ports open in a listening mode also the associated executable holding the ports open.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

There is nice little freeware called fport that does the PID translation to excutable name for you. Very handy.
