Which Windows Ports are in use?????

It never fails.  I'm installing some software and there is a conflict somewhere.  Signs point to it being an issue with ports and I can never remember the command.

Netstat

How do you run it?

-Open up a DOS prompt (Start->Run ; type "cmd" ; hit ENTER key)

From the DOS prompt, type "Netstat", then hit ENTER key.

The list of ports starts scrolling down the screen faster than you can read so it will probably be necessary to save the information to a text file for review.

From the DOS Prompt type:

Netstat >> c:\test.txt

This will send the output to a file called c:\test.txt. You can change the file name if you want to.
