Windows 95 Internet - Networking

Where Are You Connected?

If you are connected on a network and have multiple net-applications open, it may be confusing to figure out everywhere that you are "on-line" at any given time. The DOS command-line utility NETSTAT will display all of your open connections so you do not have to switch to each application and check from there. To make a shortcut to this file on the desktop so you can quickly check your connection statistics:

First, right-click on an empty area of the desktop and choose "New," selecting "Shortcut." On the dialog box that follows, for the command line, key in your Windows directory and the filename "NETSTAT.EXE." For example, if you have Win95 on your "C" drive, the command line would be: "C:\WINDOWS\NETSTAT.EXE" Click "OK." Last, key in "Network Statistics" and click "OK."

You can now modify this link to the NETSTAT program (a .PIF file) the same way you can modify other .PIF files.
