Are we the only ones with the problem? I’m still getting an empty
transparent window.

Windows XP Pro SP3, IBM ThinkPad T21, Nvidia Quadro NVS280, Nvidia drivers version 175.

Loaded and ran the first time. Great little program for free, lets me see all the open ports also.

Installed it yesterday, but it keeps nagging me with a 30-day trial version notice. What’s happening?

Can you still register this software if you install it after the download time expires? It’s just that I was not near my pc when I downloaded it.

I liked this program when it was a giveaway in September and am glad the update is a giveaway today.

For a great freeware alternative, although it may be too complex for some, I also recommend “The Dude” by Mikrotik.

As others have stated, small footprint using few system resources… Installs quickly on Vista Home Premium…

Starting Everquest, it reveals all the ports and launch programs used in the entire initialization process, but once the game had opened access to a server for play, the information was no longer on the display even though a connection was active…

The TCP connection count always registers 20 connections, when I know there are more than that active. Using a-squared HiJackFree I can count 29 active TCP connections and the names between the two do not totally match up…

The UDP connection count seems to be zero all the time, but I also have UDP connections that show in a-squared HiJackFree…

In addition, I can check connections via my firewall and the accuracy of NetStat Agent isn’t quite what it should be…

It is a nifty utility and displays some cool information, but don’t expect it to reveal everything about your connections…

Of course, this could just be how it interfaces with Vista, but will have to install it on a XP system or a 2000 system to verify…

This program is good for me.
I found strange process.
I believed that means someone was hecking me or untouchtable virus had exited.
After I use Ghost image to rewrite main partion, the strange process was gone.

#63 no need to remove previous versions as both use same registration data. Most critical issue with activation is Activate.exe must run as an administrator as it sets global registry key values rather than per user key values.

An excellent tool. Probably not for every user, but this program shows a lot of information, and in a nice clear way – a very nice GUI. The website is also nicely laid out. Its refreshing to see a developer put effort into a program and their website.

Overall, a handy program to have tucked away.

#63. I did not uninstall my previous version. Installing this package merely upgraded the original to the newest version. Same icon in the same place, new version.

I loved NetStat when I got it on a previous GOTD. This one looks even smoother in operation so far. XP/SP3.
