(Windows 7 x86)

If I run netstat -ab, I get a list of active connections, along with the names of the applications which have opened the connections.

However, some connections (including the one opened by my app) are listed as:

Can not obtain ownership information

Why?

Thanks,

Darren.

Run netstat -ano and look at the PID that it is under.
