Im trying to get the ip of a connection i make to a host directly through netstat, but I was wondering if there wasany program that would log it automatically - ie while its running, notify me of any new connections made to my computer (no im not in the mood to install a firewall)

Active Ports - http://www.webattack.com/get/activeports.shtml
, not sure if you can save that stuff automatically as well but does a good job.

How about a program that would Alert you in like a msgbox \ XP Bubble box type thing when a new connection is listening\made to your pc..that would be cool

s54 - thnx - wworkde like a charm

tcpview is a nice program.it is in realtime and shows the files with their connections and ports.
u can save the results but i dunno whether it has an alert function
feel free to try it

I use Tcpview.. that does a good job for me.. But I'll try activeports.. Maybee its better:)
