Hey, this is my first thread on this forum, i have done a lot of my own research but am still at a loss for some information. for example, i do my best to keep track of who is accessing my home network and what is going on with it but for the life of me i cant figure out some of the established connections. if i see an established connection to an IP adress on a port im unfamiliar with, i try to look it up but am usually unsuccessful. like port 2999 all the info i can get is its some remoteware…im not sure how to tell which connections are good and which ones, if there are any that are harmful or shouldnt be there. is there a list or a website that anyone knows of where i can easily look up information on ports and ip adresses that i have established connections to? any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Sniff the wire – have you used wireshark yet? If not, give it a shot and you’ll see exactly what is going over that port! There are lists, but many times, the creative hackers use popular ports so that when you search them, they appear to be harmless.
The best way to know for sure is to sniff the wire. Let me know if you need help on this.
Best regards,
Jim.
sweet, ill try wireshark, thanks for the info
Wow, wireshark is a spitting image of network monitor in WS03, with some improvements!
Yup, it is a spin off of Ethereal which is still out there, but for some reason, Wireshark just seems easier
Regards,
Jim.
