Netstat

Mes9 · 01-30-2012, 02:07 PM

I'm running a Fedora 16 on my computer. But I have a question about NETSTAT on a famile members computer running Vista.
Hope its not a violation posting question's not Linux related, and if it is I'll delete the thread.

C:\>NETSTAT

Active Connections

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State

TCP 192.168.1.2:55542_______ec2-107-20-249-139:https__CLOSE_WAIT
TCP 192.168.1.2:55543_______sjc-not8:http_____________ESTABLISHED
TCP 192.168.1.2:55655_______ox:http___________________TIME_WAIT
TCP 192.168.1.2:55657_______ox:http___________________TIME_WAIT

How can there be addresses which are not ip related?
What can I do to know which service is using that connection?

Not to bust your bubble, but just because you have linux installed on your computer, doesn't mean to use linux forums for windows based questions. At a minimum, this thread needs to be moved. Reported....

Cheers,

Josh

1) "not ip related"? you mean that they are names? That's just a DNS reverse lookup.
2) on windows? I very much doubt you can
3) nothing to do with Linux, merely owning a copy doesn't count. moved to General.

why would you make a remark like this, netstat is just as robust on Windows as it is in UNIX.

Code:

:: display TCP connection based on owning process
netstat -tb

:: display all of netstats options
netstat --help

Linux is no better than Windows, its just different. Hate mongering does no one any good.

Cheers!

I don't know, was this a joke?

Sounds to me like you're insinuating that Windows is somehow inferior.

Thank´s man
I've been using Linux since 2007 on and off, still a novice,

In Linux at least, sockets can be used for interprocess communications, between two processes, including when both are on the same host. The first line in your printout does look like a hostname however.
Software written following the server/client paradigm may use sockets.

One problem with MS network shell commands, is they may behave differently then they are supposed to. For example, arp looks like its Unix cousin, until you try to permanently try to fix an IP to a MAC address. It simply doesn't do what it says. Bug fixes of this type may take 20 years.
