I need to investigate what clients connected to my application and I am using the netstat command for this. I noticed that sometimes it does not report me the correct machine name.

Why this is happening? Is there a better way to get the list of clients connected to my server?

I'd like to know if a particular process is using a given port, i.e. netstat -ban. I came across using IPGlobalProperties to get the list of active connections, but this doesn't seem to include process information.
