*****Pulist*****
You can use PULIST from the W2K Resource Kit to find the PID and see what process uses it and who started it. For example, you found out that your computer had an open connection to a remote IP address on TCP port 80, and you don't have any Internet Explorer or other browser windows open. You want to find out what process is using that session.
