Re: How to close open ports



Hello Enrique,

Thank you for posting in the Windows XP VAP newsgroup!

>From your post, my understanding on this issue is: You want to know how to
determine what service is using port 5000 and how to close the port. If I'm
off base, please feel free to let me know.

Thanks for Dave Patrick's input! He gave us the right method. Also thanks
to Larry!

Command "netstat -aon" will list all the connections and listening ports
with the related process ID. After getting the process ID, you can type
"tasklist" in command line prompt to know which application is using the
port.

If the 5000 port is used by certain system process, we do not suggest you
to manually terminate the process. Because this will lead to uncertain
system malfunctions.

We believe that a firewall product such as Microsoft ISA Server 2004 can
easily block the port, in case it really needs to be blocked.

For more information about Microsoft ISA Server, please refer to below link

Please let me know if you have any other concerns, or need anything else.
