The second part will either be a port number or the name of a service.
See Appendix B for help deciphering the port numbers that appear here
and in the Foreign Address column, detailed next.
Foreign Address
For active connections, this will be the name or IP address of the remote
machine, followed by a colon, and then the port number being used.
For inactive connections (showing only the open ports), you??™ll typically
see only *:*.
State
This shows the state of the connection (TCP ports only). For example,
for server processes, you??™ll usually see LISTENING here, signifying that the
process has opened the port and is waiting for an incoming connection.
For connections originating from your computer, such as a web browser
downloading a page or an active Telnet session, you??™ll see ESTABLISHED
here.
PID
This is the Process Identifier of the application or service that is responsible
for opening the port.
To find out more about a particular PID, open Task Manager (launch
taskmgr.exe or right-click an empty area of your taskbar and select Task
Manager), and choose the Processes tab. If you don??™t see a column
labeled PID, go to View ??? Select Columns, turn on the PID (Process
Identifier) option, and click OK. Finally, turn on the Show processes
from all users option at the bottom of the Windows Task Manager window.
You can then sort the listing by PID by clicking the PID column
header. The corresponding program filename is shown in the Image Name
column.
