Hi,
I need some advice regarding my home PCs.
I'd like to be able to to do two things:
 1. I'd like to be able to monitor all traffic into and out of my
PCs; IP/Domain:Port TCP/UDP both into and out of the PC - If I can get
the name of the calling process/application too, that would be cool.
 2. I'd like a list of the (incomming/out going) ports that should be
blocked on my firewall. It is a general home PC used for browsing,
gaming, MSN etc.



A couple of tools that might help you:

- TCPView from sysinternals.com (or any other tool you might find usefull from this site.
- Ethereal
