Default TCP ports open or used?

Robert,
I am running Windows 98SE not NT or XP and yes I found netstat version
5.00.1515.1 in my windows folder. What is it and what do I do with it I
did not double click on it yet to see it run or is it an application
that runs always at start up?



If you want to look for listening ports try sysinternals (recently
bought out by Microsoft) TCPview
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sys...utilities.mspx
That, however, won't necessarily identify the problem.

If the program you are using isn't working then it is likely that a
firewall is blocking the listening port or maybe you need to enable
port forwarding on a router? To determine this, you need to post more
information about what equipment is used to connect your computer to
the Internet.
