    Managing open ports in Win XP

    My download speed was very slow, so I run netstat and there were heaps of open ports. (Win XP)
    Is there a managing ports utility were I can close ports that are not needed?
    Thanks,
    Arthur

    Are you running a separate router? You can manage ports via it, assigning port/s to individual programs.
