The poor person's answer is a DOS command: netstat -aof followed by either whois lookups or lookups via one of the services such as DNSStuff.com or domaintools.com.

Thanks AKAJohnDoe and markymoo,

NetStat was good, couldnt get Port Explorer to run in Vista, and
CurrPorts was the best, will try that for now..

thanks...
