Windows 2000/XP have the netstat command.... remember that the windows networking code is based on BSDs networking code (Microsoft took something good and mutated it like usual :). If you go deep enough into the subdirectories in the system root of windows 2000/xp you will start seeing etc, bin folders, etc. Anyways, do a netstat /? in the command prompt to get all the options for the windows version of netstat. It will show you the current ports that are open and who they are connected to if they are connected to anyone. Hope this helps.
