need Netstat info

[iconSYS1]

Hello,

I am wondering why in netstat does it shows the following :

TCP 0.0.0.0:445 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 4
[System]

TCP 0.0.0.0:3260 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1692
[StarWindService.exe]

TCP 0.0.0.0:3261 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1692
[StarWindService.exe]

TCP 76.168.200.xxx:139 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 4
[System]

TCP 127.0.0.1:1028 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 256
[alg.exe]

TCP 76.168.200.xxx:2216 205.188.8.56:5190 ESTABLISHED 396
[aim.exe]

TCP 76.168.200.xxx:2217 205.188.210.75:5190 ESTABLISHED 396
[aim.exe]


... I'm concerned with the local addresses. I know that 127.xxx.xxx is for local connections only, but I'm confused why some have my actual IP address and others will show 0.0.0.0.ort. What specifies this?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Those ports listening on 0.0.0.0 are listening on all IPs configured. Those ports listening on 127.0.0.1 are only available to your local machine. Those that are established with your actual IP are using that IP to connect.
