Re: Netstat Prompt Results - What does this mean?
Netstat results are too limited, I suggest you use Active Ports, but TCPView works also.

On NT systems there are some programs which make internal connections, many more which are just listening, few you should disable, and some you can only just block depending on your setup.
Unless your networked with other machines, go into the properties of each adapter, and in the advanced tcp/ip settings you can disable netbios over tcp/ip. If you do have a network only have it enabled for the adapters that connect with the network.
Start -> Run: services.msc
In the properties of the service, stop then Disable SSDP Discovery Protocol, and UPnP Universal Plug n Prey.

SSDP Discovery Protocol, and UPnP PnP were already disabled. I disabled netbios over tcp/ip. I am not on a network, so I was able to safely disable at least a dozen other non-critical adapters that were running.

Thank you, Bubba for explaining the netstat 
Thank you, Jason for the download sites, and
Thank you, BlitzenZeus for the download, and for the final assurance I needed to disable netbios over tcp/ip.
You all provided answers for a number of questions that I have been unsure of. Thank you again!
(And thank you, 2kmaro, wherever you are, for mentioning the netstat to begin with!)
