TCP View is one of my “must have” utilities. I use this quite often to watch connections or for trouble shooting. Everyone should have this on their computer. It is one of the best security tools you can use. TCP View will instantly show you who is connected to you and who you are connected to. If you see something unusual in the list, you should check into it. I would recommend for most usage to uncheck the “show unconnected endpoints” for any troubleshooting purposes. This will then show only the current connections happening, you can watch them connect and disconnect as they happen.

TCP View Screen

This is a handy little program for testing and troubleshooting. Enter a port to listen on and it will show incoming connections to that port. This can be useful if you are trying to setup connectivity through a firewall or a router. This could also be used as a secuity tool to make it appear you are running a service on a standard port, by having the tool respond, while the sevices is really running on a different port.
