Internet program question.

[NORTONnFRIENDS]

Anyone know if there is an internet alocation program that is out there to see what programs are using your connection.

I just use the DOS Prompt.

Type netstat -no at command prompt.

Then Cntrl+Alt+Delete and open up Task Manager. Match the PID # to the program in Task manager.

**If you don't see the PID column in Task manager, click View then Select Columns and make sure PID is checked off in order to see the PID (process Identifier) column**

It doesn't show you how much bandwidth the program is using but it gives you a listing of what programs are sending traffic.

Only program I know of offhand that can tell you the actual bandwidth being used would be Sniffer Pro (http://www.snifferpro.co.uk/) or Ethereal (http://www.ethereal.com/). But these programs are expensive and require some Networking knowledge.

This (http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html) works very nicely as well - completely GUI.
