Dear Group,

Can someone advise me on this ?

Thanks in advance.

Google fport or Activeports.

Netstat will tell you what ports are being used as other people said, but it
wont tell you WHAT is using them as you asked unless you are using Windows
XP.

Look at
http://www.foundstone.com/index.htm....htm&subcontent=/resources/proddesc/fport.htm

Its a tool to map open ports to process on your machine. It's free.

Description
~~~~~~~~~~~

Active Ports - easy to use tool that enables you to monitor all open
TCP/IP
and UDP ports on the local computer. Active Ports maps ports to the
owning
application so you can watch which process has opened which port. It
also
displays a local and remote IP address for each connection and allows
you
to terminate the owning process. Active Ports can help you to detect
trojans
and other malicious programs.

ATTENTION TO DEVELOPERS: if you would like to be able to display
opened
TCP/IP and UDP ports in your application, you can purchase the Active
Ports
programming interface (API). You can use API with any programming
language
(such as Visual C++, Visual Basic, Delphi) that supports DLLs
loading. DLL
contains one function: AllocateAndGetPortsMappingInfo.
To purchase API, please contact Ashot Oganesyan
([email protected]).

OK. Perhaps he better would have written that.

A look at the utilities on www.sysinternals.com could be a good idea
for Windows-Users who search for such a tool.

VB.

 

[Mimic]

OK. Perhaps he better would have written that.

Or purhaps you should of checked, considering a substantial proportion of
the population run windows.

a basic understanding of the windows OS would suffice, you dont need any
third party s/w

How could I check that, sugar?

I'm working with Linux, Windows, OSX, HPsUX, Slowlaris and some others,
what can you read in this header? OSX? And if I ask for a tool, can you
imagine for what OS?

The header gives a tip on which OS the newsreader runs. That's it.

a basic understanding of the windows OS would suffice, you dont need any
third party s/w

You mean netstat -ao I guess - I prefer TCPView, TDImon and netstatp.
So what?

VB.

 

[Mimic]

How could I check that, sugar?

Well, firstly you look at the header, it says MSOE, thats a windows app.
Secondly you take into account the majority of people use windows, then you
take into account the amount of people that would run MSOE over nix et al is
excessively low, and thus come to the conclusion that he is infact running
windows. Its not hard, he asked for a way to see what apps are using what
ports, you seem to find it necessary to turn every post into a complex
display of how you think youre better than everyone else.

You mean netstat -ao I guess - I prefer TCPView, TDImon and netstatp.
So what?

VB.

So what? having trouble with the english language ? Your preferences have
nothing to do with the fact i stated you dont need 3rd party software to
accomplish the task.

For he was writing "monitoring", TDImon would be the better choice.

I do not share your opinion about "if someone asks a question, scan
the headers of her/his posting for finding out information she/he
did not mention, and try to guess what she/he really wanted".

I think, if somebody wants to get a sensible answer, she/he has to
try to ask sensible questions - and to tell the master conditions
she/he has to handle with.

BTW, was it really Windoze for that case? Hello? Are we disputing
alone meanwhile? ;-)

VB.

 

[Michael J. Pelletier]

Shiva,
try LanGuard
Thanks, Trevor

"netstat -an" in UNIX and I think it is the same in Windoze. As far as
monitoring it, I am not sure. You mean have some software monitor it for
you? Maybe tell you when a new port is opened?
