That IS strange, because I have NetBIOS totally disabled. As for port 135, you can try this: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole Look on the right-hand panel for a value named EnableDCOM. By default it should be set at Y, change this to N. This will disable DCOM. Next, navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc Look on the right-hand panel for a value named DCOM Protocols. Do not modify the entire value, but instead only remove ncacn_ip_tcp from the DCOM Protocols value, and leave everything else untouched.

None of the PIDs appear to be 4, and each PID is different. However, all six of them translate to either wininit.exe, svchost.exe, lsass.exe, or services.exe. This is basically what it looks like: Local Foreign 0.0.0.0:49152 0.0.0.0:0 0.0.0.0:49153 0.0.0.0:0 0.0.0.0:49154 0.0.0.0:0 0.0.0.0:49155 0.0.0.0:0 0.0.0.0:49156 0.0.0.0:0 0.0.0.0:49157 0.0.0.0:0 [::]:49152 [::]:0 [::]:49153 [::]:0 [::]:49154 [::]:0 [::]:49155 [::]:0 [::]:49156 [::]:0 [::]:49157 [::]:0

Can anyone tell me which service/program is opening these ports? Ports 49152, 49153, 49154, 49155, 49156, 49157. The PID for each of these translates to a system process. Thanks!

I'm thinking about buying a Windows XP Home OEM installation disc... However, once Microsoft chooses not to support Windows XP anymore, will I still be able to activate it? For example, if I wanted to install and activate Windows XP 10 years from now, would it still work? Thanks!
