finding programs associated with network connections. [solved]

Is there a way to find out what programs are accessing the internet at any given time?  i know firestarter does this, but i would rather not do it through that if possible.

you can use netstat with the -p option to show all running connections and programs associated with them. for examle netstat -tp as root will show all outgoing TCP connections with the programs that opened them. Have a look at the netstat manpage for other options like udp-connections, running servers etc..
