Hey i hope this help some people.. like Leo said the TCPview is a good tool tat could help u to know what application is listening in each port here is a command that will give u exaclty the same informaction "netstat -a -b" what does it do? well the first argument -a will show u all the conections and listening ports so now u know which ports u have open then the second argument -b asks for the application that is running in each port so now u have the same information that the TCPview gives u.

Answering the question for Elshan the ip address is under the remote address sometimes it gives u the name for example it could tell u www.hotmail.com so now u can look for the transalation for that ip usign the command nslookup after u execute that comman in the command prompt then u have to insert the name u want to tranlate in this case www.hotmail.com and it will give u the ip address of that name.

Hi, I used TCPView and got 2 items Listening,
then opened netstat and I had 5 items listening.
Whats up with the difference?

Thanks for the pointer to TCPView -- it's just what I've been looking for as well. I've known about netstat for years, but that doesn't tell you who has the port open, just that it's open.

As for the "restricting my ipo high speed" comment, perhaps he meant "it's eating up my bandwidth, limiting what other programs are able to send/receive"? Or perhaps his ISP throttles down the bandwidth because it's using too much?
