Hi all

I have xp pro and are connected to a winser2003 domain with a exchange
server also. Does windows have a build-in port scanner or do i have to
download and install one from the net. Is there good ones on the net seeing
that i work from a wireless connection at home and want to tighten security
a bit

Thanks for the help everyone
 
Netstat
Displays active TCP connections, ports on which the computer is listening,
Ethernet statistics, the IP routing table, IPv4 statistics (for the IP,
ICMP, TCP, and UDP protocols), and IPv6 statistics (for the IPv6, ICMPv6,
TCP over IPv6, and UDP over IPv6 protocols). Used without parameters,
netstat displays active TCP connections.

Type: netstat /? in a command prompt for help.

To open a command prompt...
Start | Run | Type: cmd | Click OK

Use:

netstat /ano

for example.

Not only does Windows not have a port scanner, but the way the Windows
TCP/IP stack is designed, it's literally impossible to create a quality
port scanner for Windows. Go to http://www.knoppix.net/ and download a
Knoppix CD or DVD. Knoppix comes with nmap, an open source port scanner,
and that's the one most network professionals trust and use. Because nmap
and Knoppix are both open source, they have seen public security reviews
and won't cost you any more than a few minutes and blank media.

Host security and access point security are two totally different cans of
worms and I think you're confusing them for each other.
