Multiple Netstat connections

I have a Win2000 / Exchange2000 server. I have scanned
the system for viruses and applied all available service
packs. When I run the netstat utility, it says I have
dozens of connections from the Win2k server back to
itself. DNS appears to be configured correctly, so I'd be
willing to entertain any ideas or suggestions.
Thanks in advance... Jon
 
Are these actual connections or just listening? Netsat shows actual connections while
netstat -a or -an will show listening ports also which may be considerable depending
on services/applications installed. Fport can be helpful in determining what
application is mapped to a port. Service packs and virus protection by themselves
will not prevent unwanted connections, for that you need a properly configure
firewall. Below is the tcp listing of netstat -an on my XP computer which is behind
a firewall. --- Steve
