Hello,

Can anyone help me with information from my running of netstat -s (to see the status of
network ports on my system). I got the following readout:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
AF_INET Address Family:
Total Number of sockets 7

SOCK TYPE FOREIGN LOCAL FOREIGN STATE
PORT PORT HOST
====== ===== ========== ========== ========== ========
1 STREAM 0 2868 0.0.0.0 LISTEN
4 STREAM 0 pop3..110 0.0.0.0 LISTEN
5 STREAM 0 0 0.0.0.0 CLOSED
6 RAW 0 0 0.0.0.0 RAW
2058 DGRAM 0 bootpc..68 0.0.0.0 UDP
2067 DGRAM 0 0 0.0.0.0 UDP
2132 DGRAM 0 0 0.0.0.0 UDP
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
AF_OS2 Address Family:
Total Number of sockets 0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
AF_NB Address Family:
Total Number of sockets 0

[E:\]

But I don't know what to do with it. In particular I don't understand what a "Foreign Port" of
0 means. And I don't know what a "Foreign Host" of 0.0.0.0 means. Can anyone help me
with this? Thanks muchly.
HCM
