There is a DOS command that will let you view all open connections to your computer, anyone know what it is? (i forgot)

Its NETSTAT. If your running XP then you can use the -ano switch to get a more detailed listing.

Don't you mean netstat -a ?

Nope, -ano works very well

-a does work very well also

-ano returns the P_ID of it as well

I believe that XP SP-2 has another switch option that gives the process name (*.exe) for the pid too.

What's that list? All open ports or all occupied ports?

**RobDog888** · May 30th, 2005, 09:20 PM

You have ports that are "listening" and ports that are active/open.

Ah, I just tried -ano on Win 2k3, worked fine.
