netstat -noa 


2. If you know the port number you want to see if it's busy 

netstat -noa | find "port number"

3. If you want to know which process takes your port
  3. 1. Take a PID of this process as shown above
  3. 2.  Push CTRL + ALT + DEL, choose "Task manager"
  3. 3.  Choose "more"
  3. 4.  Press the head of the "ID" column to sort all the running processes by their ID and find the goal process by it's PID (which is the ID in this table).
