Cat,

In your case I would definitely advise having a look at a couple of 
Sysinternals tools. Specifically, "Process Explorer" allows you to 
display open sockets for a process, and "TCPView" will list all open 
(and listening) sockets and their associated processes. I assume you're 
talking about an NT-based system here, as under 9x/ME these tools are 
regretfully castrated by the lack of appropriate OS features.

Oh, and you may want to check out another utility, also from 
Sysinternals, called "autoruns", which can give you a list of non-system 
programs in starting locations, including BHOs and shell extensions. 
(Though I'd actually recommend NirSoft's ShellExView for the latter if 
you plan to do any serious messing around.)

HTH,
Sam
