RE: Commands for closing tcp session on a window box

In windows xp, you can run NETSTAT -ano to get a list of active TCP/UDP
and their associated PID.  Then you can use kill/taskkill/pskill to
terminate the process behind the session.  You probably want to take a
look at FPORT to make it a little easier to hunt down what applications
are using which ports.  That way you can stop it from starting up in the
first place.

Sorry, the question I'm asking is quite vague without giving more
details. 
Let's say, on command prompt I entered NETSTAT -A -N and it showed a
list of TCP and UDP active connections. A session was established i.e.  

TCP    123.183.193.219:1038   64.12.24.151:5190      ESTABLISHED

Question, is it possible to terminate this Session on the command prompt

And what command is use to achieve it or what solutions do you suggest? 
Thank you!
