close a tcp connection?

[AlbafaN]

you know how u can get the tcp connections table... well, how would i close one of those connections?

[JaredM]

Does it have a method associated with it called .Close() ?

Im tryin to close an "external" connection... I didn't make the connection, it was established through another program or whatever. You know how if you type the dos command... netstat -n ... and it shows you all of your tcp connections (tcp table).... well, how would i be able to close one of them?

Im makin an anti-cheat program for a game, and when someone is caught cheating, or isnt running the anticheat program, I want it to terminate their connection to the host of the game...

So I basically want to know how to close an external tcp/winsock connection...

You would go crazy trying this in VB. There are C samples of messing with connection ports in the PsTools kit.

It's a freebie from www.sysinternals.com. has the tool kit and source code, too.

404 error ... but i found an example at vbip.com that uses the IP Helper API (iphlpapi.dll)... I'm going to be experimenting with this later. Hopefully this works out!

The best way to break a TCP/IP connection is to unplug your network cable or phone wire.

This is a task I need to accomplish as well. I will work on something and let you know

Being a 4.5 year old thread, I don't think they are still looking for it. No real point ressurecting this thread, is there

If however you do find something that you find useful, you can post it in the codebank (which is at the bottom of all forums on the main page)
