Which command can be used to show the current TCP/IP connections?

Question

Options

• ANetsh
• BNetstat
• CNet use connection
• DNet use

• B
  95% (52)
• C
  4% (2)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

Netstat (Network Statistics) is the correct answer because it is a command-line utility specifically designed to display active TCP/IP connections, listening ports, routing tables, and network statistics - making it the go-to tool for viewing current network connections.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. Netsh is a powerful network configuration tool used to modify network settings (like IP addresses and firewall rules), not primarily for displaying active connections.
• C. "Net use connection" is not a valid command; it does not exist in standard Windows networking tools.
• D. Net use is used to connect to, disconnect from, or display information about shared network resources (like mapped drives), not TCP/IP connections.

Memory tip: Think of "Netstat = Network Status" - the "stat" part reminds you it shows statistics and status of your current connections, just like checking your vital stats at a doctor's office. If you need to see what's connected, Netstat is your command.
