Connection Dropout

[Flapsdaddy]

Does anyone know of a program that will tell me what
programs are using my connection? I keep getting internet
dropout for 2-3 seconds. I have a 1meg cable connection
and a great computer with a good firewall and an up-to-
date antivirus. I just dont know what it can be. Have
tried lots of things but cant get any closer to an answer.
I have minimized the problem by denying access to the
internet for most programs accept a few that I know and
trust. My ISP assures me it is nothing to do with them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I found nice and small tool - ActivePorts. Here is some description:
---
Active Ports 1.1 - easy to use tool that enables
you to monitor all open TCP/IP and UDP ports on
the local computer. Active Ports maps ports to
the owning application so you can watch which
process has opened which port. It also displays
a local and remote IP address for each connection
and allows you to close any port. Active Ports
can help you to detect trojans and other
malicious programs. Freeware
---

You can find it in a number of places (search google for: "active
ports download"), here is one:

Works like wonder! You can see all your active connections, what
program, how and where.

Regards,
Andrew
