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.


Thanks, James. Good tip.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sys...s/tcpview.mspx

quotes
TCPView works on Windows NT/2000/XP and Windows 98/Me.

On Windows NT, 2000 and XP TCPView also reports
the name of the process that owns the endpoint.

TCPView Pro, a Winternals Software product, has a number of features
that make it much more powerful and useful than TCPView:
See what process has each endpoint opened (on Win9x as well)

TCPView Pro is available as part of Winternals Administrator's Pak.

Does the Win9x version at least have the netstat -o (PID) equivalent?
Otherwise it looks like they need a priced product? Does it still exist? eg



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.


Good stuff! That's why I cross-posted this thread. ; )
