DISPLAY TCP/IP
NETWORK PROTOCOL : NETSTAT [-a] [-e] [-n] [-s] [-p proto] [-r] [interval]
INFORMATION
-a Displays all connections and listening pports.
-e Displays Ethernet statistics. This may bbe combined with the -s option.
-n Displays addresses and port numbers in nnumerical form.
-p proto -Shows connections for the protocool specified by proto; proto may
be TCP or UDP. If used with the -s option
to display per-protocol statistics, proto may be TCP, UDP, or IP.
-r Displays the routing table.
-s Displays per-protocol statistics. By deffault, statistics are shown for
TCP, UDP and IP; the -p option may be used
to specify a subset of the default.
interval Redisplays selected statistics, pausing interval seconds between
each display. Press CTRL+C to stop
redisplaying statistics. If omitted, netstat will print the current
configuration information once.

MANUALLY CONFIGURE MODEMS ROUTE :
ROUTE [-f] [-p] [command [destination] [MASK netmask] [gateway] [METRIC
metric]
[IF interface]
-f Clears the routing tables of all gatewayy entries. If this is used in
conjunction with one of the commands, the tables
are cleared prior to running the command.
-p When used with the ADD command, makes a route persistent across boots of
the system. By default, routes are not
preserved when the system is restarted. When used with the PRINT
command, displays the list of registered
persistent routes. Ignored for all other commands, which always affect
the appropriate persistent routes. This option
is not supported Windows'95. command One of these:
PRINT Prints a route
ADD Adds a route
DELETE Deletes a route
CHANGE Modifies an existing route destination Specifies the host.
MASK Specifies that the next parameter is the 'netmask' value.
NETMASK Specifies a subnet mask value for this route entry. If not
specified, it defaults to 255.255.255.255.
GATEWAY Specifies gateway. interface the interface number for the specified
route.
METRIC Specifies the metric, ie. cost for the destination.
All symbolic names used for destination are looked up in the network
database file NETWORKS. The symbolic names for
gateway are looked up in the host name database file HOSTS.
If the command is PRINT or DELETE. Destination or gateway can be a wildcard,
(wildcard is specified as a star '*'), or
the gateway argument may be omitted.
If Dest contains a * or ?, it is treated as a shell pattern, and only
matching destination routes are printed. The '*' matches any string,
and '?' matches any one char. Examples: 157.*.1, 157.*, 127.*, *224*.
Diagnostic Notes:
Invalid MASK generates an error, that is when (DEST & MASK) != DEST.
Example> route ADD 157.0.0.0 MASK 155.0.0.0 157.55.80.1 IF 1
The route addition failed: 87
EXAMPLES
Examples:
>route PRINT
>route ADD 157.0.0.0
^destination
MASK 255.0.0.0
^mask 157.55.80.1
^gateway METRIC 3
^metric IF 2
^Interface
If IF is not given, it tries to find the best interface for a given
gateway.
>route PRINT
>route PRINT 157* .... Only prints those matching 157*
>route DELETE 157.0.0.0
>route PRINT
One way to use this would be as follows: You can't ping the server that you
are connecting to, but you know the ip address
to be 127.16.16.10
>route PRINT
