netstat

[Mano Geezer]

I loaded up the dos prompt and hit netstat -a before i connected to the
internet. and see

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP tom:epmap mano:0 LISTENING
TCP tom:1025 mano:0 LISTENING
TCP tom:1026 mano:0 LISTENING
TCP tom:1027 mano:0 LISTENING

Can anybody tell me what epmap is and what it is listening for. Thanks

epmap is the EndPoint Mapper for DCOM.

How can I quickly find all the listening or open ports on my computer?

Try "netstat -a -n", which will tell you that epmap is port 135, a
major attack point for NT-based systems. Do you have a network between
your two machines tom and mano?
