goto "Run" and type cmd

there type netstat -v -b -a



alternately, if you want to see all the open ports of your computer, you can download and use pcSuper Scanner. It will scan and list all open ports of your comp.

For a GUI I bet there is nothing like TCPView from Sysinternals

If you want to change the port your program uses, then you can simply change the port number in the program's settings, if it allows you to change it. Coming to your situation, specifically, it would probably be a very bad idea trying to change the port from 110 as that is the default port for the POP3 protocol. I highly recommend you find out which service/program is holding the port open using netstat. Also, IMHO, the best tool in DOS for checking which ports are in which state is to download Nmap and run a scan on your own PC.
