linux equivalent for windows netstat command(was: command)

[delete]

ok in microsoft there is a command line netstat -n this shows the open ports and what they do.

now what is the command line for this in linux/unix?
and whats the command to start shutting off the ports?

thanks

ummm that would be netstat or nmap

any/all/most of those types of commands in windows are ports of old unix commands (with most of the usefulness removed by microsoft)

and whats the command to start shutting off the ports?

thanks

you stop the process(es)/daemon(s) that has/have the port(s) open.

uhh, try "netstat"

see "man netstat" for more info...
