Sysinternals Freeware - Utilities for Windows NT and Windows 2000 - TDIMon: "TDIMon is an application that lets you monitor TCP and UDP activity on your local system. It is the most powerful tool available for tracking down network-related configuration problems and analyzing application network usage.

TDIMon gets its name from the fact that it monitors activity at the Transport Driver Interface (TDI) level of networking operations in the operating system kernel. This is the interface to protocol stacks such as TCP and UDP. Thus, the I/O activity shown by TDIMon corresponds to TDI-formatted commands. Most TDI commands have direct correspondence with WinSock (the Windows socket API) functions, and thus are easy to interpret. For documentation on TDI and the commands shown in TDIMon, please see the Windows 2000 DDK, available for free download from Microsoft's web site. TDIMon works on NT 4.0, Windows 2000 (Win2K), Windows XP, Windows 95 and Windows 98. "
