Open a command prompt or dos prompt. In win9x, click start-->run and type 'command'. In win2k type 'cmd'. At the command prompt type 'netstat -a'. This will give you a list of all your current network connections. From here it is a matter of determining which one is which. To aid with this in the command prompt type 'tracert [IPADDRESS]'. This will show you all the 'hops' (servers) your connection goes through to get to that IP. With that information you should be able to determine the service provider and location. Further tools to help is the 'whois' command. www.geektools.com has a nice 'whois' utility.
