I asked a question several days ago, and soon after being posted it was set to "on hold". The reason being that it was too general.
I tried explaining more and the question itself got edited as well, and I am 100% sure it is specific and thus should be set free from on-hold status.
Here is the link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22472802/how-to-get-the-port-numbers-each-application-uses-to-send-or-recieve-data-in-c
This question still feels broad (maybe it isn't), but it feels like it. If I'm understanding your question correctly, you want a mix of a program that scans ports for every application, and somehow filters out the system processes that are using network ports?
That' not a trivial program.
What do you really want? Do you want to know how to do it? Do you want us to write that program for you? Do you want a small amount of code that shows you how to scan ports? Are you ok if the answer is
"That answer is too long to post here, you should probably read up on the subject more?"
Currently, that's exactly what the close reason is telling you, and unless you can narrow your question down a lot, we can't help you.
In my opinion it is still too general. Your question it too broad, there are a lot of answers possible.
Something that could help is adding some code you have tried.
Also, in the How-to-ask can be found useful information about asking good questions.
Definitely too broad, and it doesn't show how much effort you have already put into solving the problem. Spending 30 minutes or more on making a clearly worded, precise question, which shows your efforts so far, and describes the problem in a way which can attract focused answers will instantly reward you.
If you haven't already, take a look at Writing the perfect question by Jon Skeet.
