You have not included the commands you've run and their output. Eg,
did you try the telnet command, if so, what was your error message or
output/ result?
Eg if you are running an apache server on port 80, you could run:
In terminal 1 (don't exit the telnet command):
$ telnet localhost 80
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Now in terminal 2:
$ netstat -A inet -n
Active Internet connections (w/o servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp0 0 127.0.0.1:80127.0.0.1:47597 SYN_RECV
tcp0 0 127.0.0.1:47597 127.0.0.1:80ESTABLISHED
As you can see, netstat gives me the last line above.
Is that what you want?
Good luck
