Very true.

Doesn't work. Here is the report from my W2K machine (addresses obscured):

>netstat -p tcp

Active Connections

  Proto  Local Address          Foreign Address        State
  TCP    XXXXXXXX:1047         XXXXXX.XXXXXXXX.XXX:telnet  ESTABLISHED
  TCP    XXXXXXXX:1678         XXXXXX.XXXXXXXX.XXX:netbios-ssn  ESTABLISHED
  TCP    XXXXXXXX:2058         XXXXXX.XXXXXXXX.XXX:netbios-ssn  ESTABLISHED
  TCP    XXXXXXXX:2059         XXXXXX.XXXXXXXX.XXX:telnet  ESTABLISHED
  TCP    XXXXXXXX:2797         XXXXXX.XXXXXXXX.XXX:netbios-ssn  TIME_WAIT
--8<--

Note that I can HTTP in from the outside and get the default HTTP under
construction page.

Netstat -a works better:
--8<--    (With a LOT of ports edited out.)
>netstat -a

Active Connections

  Proto  Local Address          Foreign Address        State
  ....
  TCP    XXXXXXXXX:http         XXXXXXXXX:0            LISTENING
  ....
  TCP    XXXXXXXXX:https        XXXXXXXXX:0            LISTENING
--9<--

Ah yup - and depreciation being what it is this is my $0.25 (worth less than
that aforementioned 1/50th of a dollar was when I was born.)
