    Listing current connections

    Hello, I'm trying to make a program that will list all tcp/udp connections. I can get the actuall connections using GetTcpTable, GetUdpTable but how can I get the process that is associated with that connection?

    thank you

    What OS?
    Also, whats the point, netstat already does this?
    If any part of my post is incorrect, please correct me.

    windows xp, The reason I want to do this is I think it will be a usefull feature in my program.
    Also, I did not ask how to get the connections, I asked how to get the process associated with that particular connection. I know this is possible because I have seen it done in other programs. 'active ports' for example.
    I realise I named the topic wrong, sorry.

    thanks

    For windows the netstat option is -b to show what programs PID its associated with. As for how its implemented, I am unsure. I would bet their is a system call or something that gets information on what filedescriptors/sockets a program has open. I have no idea beyond that, all I can think of is to search through MSDN to see if they have any info on that posted. Ill let any one else with an idea post now.

    I did manage to find something that does what I want, GetExtendedTcpTable, but it only works on xp sp2, and I want it to work on 98 - xp
