Hi,

Could u please help me in - how to find currently used ports and bound processes to them.

Problem being faced:

When i start a process of mine which makes use of port 4007, get an error saying port already in use. I want to know which process us really making use of port - 4007.

Thank you in advance...Krishna

Hi,

I had a look on the net for software that uses port 4007 by default. See if any of these apply to you...

Javix Visual Debugger
Apache Web Server (with load balancing mentions "for Unix")
Lotus Hosting Management System
Clarinet conformance testing
Sequelink (but thats for OS/390 !)
LightStream

Actually there are quite a few... Is this port a good choice? You mave have conficts with other people's software...

Also does it happen the first time after a reboot? If not, your software may not be releasing the port correctly on exit.

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Tim.

Oh, and I suppose I should give you the command you were looking for too :-)

netstat at the DOS prompt.

Cheers again,
Tim.

I am using currently 2 programs :
1: active ports 1.2
2: Tiny personal firewall (tinysoftware.com)

active ports enable you to see which ports are used by which program and with Tiny are able to control which programs may use certain ports.
