hi everyone,
I have Windows XP installed at my place. My PC runs slow after I connect something externally through ports. I want to find how much a particular application utilizes a port usage. Is it possible to check port usage for a particular application in Windows.... ? kindly help
thanks
follow the steps -
- Go to Start
- Select Run
- In the command prompt, type : netstat
A list of all programs using any sort of network connections will be displayed.
Download : Port Explorer
Port Explorer is a program that allows you to see all the open network ports/sockets on your system along with the programs that own them. Along with this ability it also has many tools including a packet sniffer, bandwidth throttling and country detection to name just a few.
Port Explorer has an intuitive interface that allows you to quickly see all the network activity your computer is involved in. Port Explorer makes analysing your network easier than ever, and includes many tools for advanced network activities.
Go for it !!!
You can also try TCPView. TCPView is a Windows program that will show you detailed listings of all TCP and UDP endpoints on your system, including the local and remote addresses and state of TCP connections. On Windows Server 2008, Vista, NT, 2000 and XP, TCPView also reports the name of the process that owns the endpoint.
TCPView provides a more informative and conveniently presented subset of the Netstat program that ships with Windows.
I normally use this when i want to check any port utilities. It works for me nicely.
