Checking connecting IPs on OSX?

I'm trying to figure out exactly how to find out what connecting IPs are on this Mac. I know OSX is based on Unix but again I have no clue how to do any Unix commands. Tried googling it without any luck.

Any suggestions from you Mac users?

    try a "netstat -a" from a terminal window.

    Same as windows then, thanks.

    The information it returns may be a bit more than you get in windows, but windows does have a few *nix commands hidden throughout.

    i prefer the -N command it seems to say less and more at the same time. If that makes sense. hehe

    Lol, in Unixland, the less sense things make ,the more sense they make.

    In some cases, the "lsof" (list open files) command can also show information about net connections.

    But I do agree that "netstat" is probably a more suitable tool for this.

    Also just for the future how do you terminate a connection from the internet?

    Hmm, why would you wnat to do that? the interwebs control you!

    If i was going to bring down my net connection on my unix box,it would be 'ifconfig down'

    on a mac, wouldnt it just be easier to go into the network control panel and disable the adapter from there?

    There is always the physical method: pop the ethernet cord.
