command linenetwork-monitoringnetworkingwindows-vista
I am just wondering if it is possible to find what programmes are attempting to connect to the Internet. Is there any DOS command to do this or Is there any other programme available or will have to download a programme?
I have got Windows Vista.
Thanks for your help.
I would skip some troubleshooting on this and just reset the tcp/ip stack. If that doesn't work then start toubleshooting.
Use a manual method to reset TCP/IP
To open a command prompt, click Start and then click Run. Copy and paste (or type) the following command in the Open box and then press ENTER:
cmd
At the command prompt, copy and paste (or type) the following command and then press ENTER:
netsh int ip reset
Reboot the computer.
step1: goto Resource Monitor
Then press on the network TAB
Is that what you're looking for?

You can use the command prompt and run netstat. Just open the command line, and type
It will display every connection with the associated process.
You may also use a program called tcpview. Just run the executable and it will show you all of the current connections being made by your system.
You will need to be an administrator in order to see all of the connections being made but if you are infected with something serious or a rootkit, the connections may also be hidden. If you really wanted a fool proof way, you would need to setup a gateway or proxy of some sort for the machine.
