Thanks Doc.

Nice info there Doctor Know!!  Thanks! 

Awesome. 

And if you are running Winstep Xtreme or the Winstep Nexus dock, you can get the same info by double clicking the Net Meter module/widget.

Even allows you to close suspicious connections.

A GUI version of netstat!  I like it!  Thanks!

@ Jorge: Please tell more!

Cheers for the heads up on this program, much appreciated

Welcome all!

Thanks doc, I'd kind of been wondering about something like this.  Didn't know I already had it (WinStep), thanks for mentioning that Jorge.

Can anybody point me to a place to interpret what's showing?  Some are obvious to me, others not so much.

Thanks Doc, JCRabbit for the info. Didn't know about the tcp in out on Nexus. I do now and even checked the processes. I found quite a few that are 'listening'. Also checked out TCPEYE. It has dropbox highlighted in pink and listed as close/waiting. Microsoft too is connected as system serv and of course sysmetrix but that's for the tcp in/out.

Modules/Widgets in Winstep applications always try to go 'one step further' than your run-of-the-mill module/widget (the clock module is able to speak the time and sync your system clock with Internet time servers, for instance, the Email Checker module is able to work with multiple accounts and supports both the POP3 and IMAP protocols, etc...).

The Winstep Net Module also gives you access to what is essentially the equivalent of Sysinternal's excelent TCPView utility: shows which connections are currently active (both TCP and UDP) and the applications associated to them, allows you to sort network connections by any field, close connections, terminate processes associated to a connection, retrieve information about processes, perform WHOIS queries, and copy connection data to the clipboard. New, modified and terminated connections are color highlighted as they happen so it's easier to track what is going on.

To access the Winstep Active Connections panel just add (if you haven't already) a net in or net out monitor module to a dock, Shelf or as a Desktop module (latter for Xtreme only) - then double click it. The net module is also able to give you a vast array of network statistics: right click the module and select 'Net Statistics' from the context menu that pops up to see for yourself.

Nice one.  Thanks, doc. 

thanks doc.

Okay. So now I got both. Go figure.

I use TCPView by Sysinternals.com which shows much the same information. LINK

Edit: Sorry Jorge, didn't see your 2nd post until after I posted this reply.
