X-NetStat is a program that displays information on your current Internet and network connections, much like the console netstat.exe program, but in a graphical interface. These connections are established each time you visit a web page, send an instant message, check your email, or anytime you do network activity that requires you to connect to another computer.  They also appear when outside computers attempt to connect to your machine, authorized or not.

Each connection is displayed in the Connection Table, where you can see the address you are connected to, what ports (local and remote) are being used,  the connection status, the program EXE * used to open the connection, how much bandwidth/traffic the connection is using, and how long the connection has been active. It's kind of like Internet/network radar.

The Professional edition of X-NetStat offers a ton of additional features geared towards Network Administrators, like a Rules system to set up actions based on network conditions, a comprehensive Network Statistics window displaying information on network interfaces and protocols, a server that lets you access XNS information remotely, a collection of Lookup Tools (TraceRoute, WHOIS, Finger, DNS, Web Search, Server Version, NetBIOS Lookup, Online Tools, etc), a Port Database, Logging capabilities, transmission LED lights, a dockable ViewBar, and many more features.
