Download a copy of Microsoft TCP View. It'll provide that information.

Alternately, if you prefer an interface you can try Currports

Thank you for your fast reply.
i am not sure if it is port block issue. Initially it showed the port was occupied. but now it change a little. Please see picture attached. the application is gns3, when i want to start its console, i got the error message. and it do not show 127.0.0.1 port 2002 when using netstat -ab

That's because the port isn't currently open
Are you trying to connect to it?
all you need is to is type
It will list open ports and the program(s) using it

Yes, i am trying to open and connect it. how to open it?
That would depend on what the process is. In most cases you can't and generally don't need to

that means in this case, it is not port issue, right?
