Hi!<br />
<br />
I need to read a PCs current connections, something like the DOS command NETSTAT does...<br />
<br />
At the moment, I'm using<br />
<br />
Shell(&quot;command.com /c &quot;&nbsp;&amp; &quot;netstat -&gt; &quot;&nbsp;&amp; Chr(34) &amp;&nbsp;AppPath &amp;&nbsp;&quot;netstat.txt&quot; &amp;&nbsp;Chr(34), vbHide)<br />
<br />
and then reading this information into memory, extracting the data with a couple of basic IFs and Right()s etc<br />
<br />
However I'm sure there is an easier way!<br />
<br />
The information I need to extract is:<br />
<br />
1) The resolved DNS (not ip) address<br />
2) The local port used<br />
and<br />
3) If the connection is currently established (ie not SYN_SENT or CLOSE_WAIT as it says in NETSTAT)<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Reading current connections

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
