Not with the click of a button, but it should be possible. Netstat on XP now has the -o switch, which will show the PID associated with the connection. You can try issuing "netstat -o -p tcp" and then killing that process.

Subject: Can I shut down individual TCP connections?

Hello Everyone,

Please let me know where to go if this isn't the correct place to ask
this type of question.

I'd like to be able to terminate particular TCP sessions and not affect
any others. For example, I saw the following tonight:

    TCP Lono:3280 andybent.com:http SYN_SENT
    TCP Lono:3281 sanaga.itu.ch:http ESTABLISHED

and I wanted to kill the andybent.com session. (Who the hell is this
anyway?) All I could really do is kill my connection to my ISP and
terminate every TCP connection. Anyway to do kill just one or a couple
of the existing TCP sessions without affecting the others?

Thanks,
scott

ps. I was asked to provide info like the OS, etc. I'm rumming XP home
edition 2002 (unfortunately) on a gateway (major cheapie) with an intel
celeron 1.2Ghz. I'd assume, though, that there'd be a dos command that'd
run across most all flavors and not just across a stripped down and
tweaked nt which is what xp home edition is...
