That could work too. 'netstat' is more likely to be installed. Regardless, the point of this discussion is that there is no very "portable" method of doing it and any APIs that the OS may or may not expose may or may not be documented. Any APIs that are exposed are also likely going to be difficult to use as they will tend to dig around in the nitty-gritty details of the OS. It would be best to let an external program handle those parts. 'lsof' doesn't exist on Windows but the OP could write multiple parsers to cover a larger set of scenarios. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task.
