If I see (with the coomand netstat -a) that a port is
listening or has established a connection, how can I stop
it?

Copied/Pasted from
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/tcpview.shtml
where you can download this free tool.

You can close established TCP/IP connections (those labeled with a state of
ESTABLISHED) by selecting File|Close Connections, or by right-clicking on a
connection and choosing Close Connections

On Windows NT, 2000, and XP, TCPView also reports the name of the process
that owns the endpoint. TCPView provides a more informative and conveniently
presented subset of the Netstat program that ships with Windows.
 
You can stop it by disabling the associated service/application or use a firewall to
block access to it from untrusted networks. Tcpview as Matt discussed is excellent at
tracking down owner of the port. Searching http://google.com for port number and
protocol wll find more information about the port and what it is used for. See the
links below for more information on ports. --- Steve
