Monitor connections from the desktop?

[MadAd]

Does anyone know of any software that can monitor all/any connections made to an individual pc as they happen, perferably via a simple console window?

eg it would show which incoming (or outgoing) ip is connected to what application and clear them when they break - is there anything that does this please?

Thanks in advance.

To see all connections: netstat. just run it in a command prompt. netstat /? will give you a list of paramteres. You might want netstat /a.

A program by sysinternals called fport can be used to tell you which programs are using which ports.

edit: You could wrap them in a batch file, maybe use a perl script to parse it how you need?

thanks for the reply CTho9305 - no, neither of those will work as required, both are 'one hit' dos console programs.

fport might as well be a variation of netstat - im looking for something that will poll the connections on its own accord - live monitoring.

E.G. what IP(s) my browser connects to, what IP(s) are incoming from p2p, what IP(s) irc connects to, and when they all change, the data must update too.

Anyone else got any ideas please?
