There is a freeware program also available called Active Ports and it will tell you what ports are open, the app using it, and allow you to shut that port down. http://www.protect-me.com/freeware.html

Also terminating connections to ports in connected ports is different. Unfortunately, the only way I can think of is to use an application like fport to figure out which application is using the port and kill the app. And then install a personal firewall to maintain control over port access.
