Thanks to everyone who helped. I tried fport and it does exactly what I wanted it to do :) so thanks a lot.

I havent seen any other connects to those ports since I first posted them (the first thing I did was adjust the firewall on this box to block all activity on those ports...). I just opened those ports back up again adn hopefully, I will find a connect or two to see what is going on wiht them.

This isnt a production server, so I am not too worried about it, but I just happend to be running a netstat at the right time and found these two odd connections that I had mentioned.

So once again, thank you all!

Jeff

This afternoon I noticed a couple connections on a new server on ports 1985 and 1986. Anyone know what these ports are?

The machine is a win2k web server with Ensim installed, MS SQL Server 7, and not much else. It has all the latest updates from MS as well.

If anyone has any info, or needs more info from me, please let me know. Unfortunately, I am a linux admin, not a windows admin, so I am not sure yet how to track down things like rogue processes, and which user is doing which, and what is bound to what port on a windows machine.

Thanks
Jeff
