Hi Chad,
One thing to try would be to issue a NETSTAT command in a command prompt -
it'll list all active sockets on your machine:
: C:\WINDOWS\Profiles\Ben A L Jemmett\Desktop>netstat
:
: Active Connections
:
: Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
: TCP dell:1031 wells.mail.uk.easynet.net:pop3 TIME_WAIT
: TCP dell:1039 pop.vip.suc.yahoo.com:pop3 TIME_WAIT
: TCP dell:1040 wells.mail.uk.easynet.net:pop3 TIME_WAIT
: TCP dell:1071 deltaweb.fife.wa.us:telnet ESTABLISHED
(TIME_WAIT means the socket has been closed, but it's waiting for the other
end to notice - I think the delay is around 30 seconds usually).
You should be able to tell, from the port numbers (1031, pop3, telnet etc.),
what services are being accessed. The large numbers on the local socket
(1000+) are opened by applications to communicate - lower numbers (<1024)
are reserved for services on your machine like POP3, IMAP, NNTP, SMTP etc.

Ben A L Jemmett.
