Is there a way to determine whether any given TCP/IP port on my computer is
open or closed?

Thanks, Robert
 
"netstat -an" from a command prompt will tell you all
open ports. If you don't see the port you're interested
in, it's closed.
 
Hi Robert,

You can go to Start/Run and type cmd. In the resulting command window type
netstat -ano and you will get a list of all listening ports and ports in
use.

Thanks,
