What processes are engaged in internet connection

[Daniel23]

Hi,
I have a 256Kbps broad band internet connection. Now this speed is enough for a single computer to work on. I found a relatively low speed on surfing the flash sites. I am not able to get clear that how my browser takes too much time to access a site. I want some suggestion on checking out the different processes engaged in accessing a website. Thanks in advance.

Here is how to determine which application uses your Internet connection. Convenient to know what the program that monopolizes your bandwidth or to detect if any malware connects to your knowledge. To determine what processes are using your Internet connection there are two way. First types netstat in cmd and view that which file is processing internet.The other ways is using a third party software.

You can use TCPView a simpl network monitoring utility. It monitors activity on the site TCP / IP on your system. Unlike monitoring tools TCP / IP come with Windows (like netstat), TCPView shows what process is associated with each TCP / IP. It facilitates the determination of the application that is responsible for the activity and connectivity features.

Yes TCPView also offers a dynamic view, not available in other utilities, which shows the action of TCP / IP real-time process. But if you don't want any tool then use the nestat command. The netstat command via the command prompt to display the active connections, listening ports, the IP routing table, statistics, Ethernet, IPv4 and IPv6.

Click on Start > Programs > and look for cmd. Press and check that you are logged in as administrator. Then in the Windows command prompt, type netstat then click OK. Without parameters, the command displays the active connections. It will list you the types of services which are accessing your internet. You can keep a track through this.

You can use netstat for various other purpose also. The more command relavent to netstat is netstat-a this shows all active TCP connections and the TCP and UDP ports used by the computer to listen, netstat-b this displays the executable involved in each connection or listening port, netstat-e displays Ethernet statistics such as number of bytes and packets sent and received, netstat-n displays active TCP connections sorted by numerical order, netstat-o shows active TCP connections and includes the process ID (PID) for each connection, etc. Just types netstat /? in the cmd and get the list of more commands.
