    Hello, sorry if this is in the wrong place.
    Curious question, I ran netstat -b 5 >> C:\connections.txt for the first time and found that a co-worker was listed as active connection. Next to my PC IP address is port 62912 on a second entry port 62913. Next to her PC name is :netbios-ssn TIME_WAIT. Any ideas what she is doing or could be doing?

    The more appropriate question may be: What are you doing to her? Since it is showing as "netbios-ssn", your computer may be requesting information about the names of the machines on your network. This is a guess, but it could be that her computer is a master browser. Someone else may have a better answer but this article may be of interest...
