Since your using the MS 9x family OS, you'll want to use a good third party util... I use Neotrace Pro and Grims ping to keep track of ttraffic and lookups. add in a good firewall like outpost Pro or TPF and you will be in good shape to keep tabs on your system or network.

Yea Wave neotrace is a very handy app. I would also recommend a program called SuperScan. you can just copy and paste a ip or address and do a dns or reverse dns search really fast(for the lazy who don't like typing) LOL. From there you can also do a port scan.
Just my two cents,
