In 'Select Category' there is no WinMe option, so I just chose one. Can this be put into a batch file ? If so, how ? Go to Start->Run and type CMD [OK], type: netstat -a [ENTER] Basty

Post this in the Programming Forum on the right http://ewen.uuuq.com/

Easy. Open Notepad Type Netstat -a Save as .Bat Easy! You don't have to open in CMD or nothing, A batch file runs in DOS automatically. So whatever you type in there, it automatically runs with CMD. So just typing Netstat -a will do it Matt *************************** Need BatchFile Help ? Msg me :) ***************************

Mattio The ground has shifted. Your suggestion works perfectly, but the usefulness of it has evaporated. When I tried it in RUN, before posting the question, I got a sensible (though unintelligible) set of data in the DOS window. Now, from both the batch file and from RUN, I get an infinite number of repeats of 'C:\Desktop>Netstat -a' Basty

P.S. I 'googled' Netstat and got this result : A possible batch file is: @echo off for /L %%X in (1,1,100) do (netstat -b >> C:\connections.txt)&(sleep 5) Cls This example does 100 iterations of the netstat command at 5 second intervals (and records the results in a log). Basty

I just ran that batch file and the result was 'syntax error'. The example had been found on http://commandwindows.com/netstat.htm Basty
