How do I run netstat an

Question

can't find it anywhereonline, i need step by step. and it's to find out what port a progrm is using

Answer 1

Well outside of using a program to directly tell what exe is using what port etc you can go about seeing active connections with netstat like you said by going to start>run and type in cmd then type in netstat that will list all active connections to your system if you want a tool with more detailed information like what program is using that port you will need a program mostly because windows doesnt support that type of thing... Um here is a free tool that gives you most of that information and more that you will no doubt never use..

Answer 2

Go to start /run. Type in there "CMD" without "' to open command prompt window.

When cmd open type netstat

You'll get all the open ports.

Have a nice day
