Not insulted at all. ;) That's exactly what I was doing, just didn't read it right! HA! Thanks Ben, -Clint God Bless, Clint Hamilton, Owner www.OrpheusComputing.com www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com www.OrpheusComputing.com/cheap_reliable_web_hosting.html www.OrpheusComputing.com/PCworks-computer-help-email-list.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Moore" Please don't feel insulted by this question. :-) Are you typing the netstat command into the command prompt window or in the run box? What you are describing is the normal behavior for typing a command like that in the run box. Otherwise the command window isn't supposed to close until you tell it too. Try doing a ping or ipconfig from the command window and see if it closes.

I'm confused as to why "typing netstat -na at a command prompt" doesn't work for me. The cmd window immediately closes. ?? -Clint ========================= The list's FAQ's can be seen by sending an email to PCWorks-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with FAQ in the subject line.
