Using netstat
As promised (in my article “How do I find my network information in Linux?“) I am going to introduce you to the netstat command. This command is a very useful tool for discovering networking information such as routing tables, network connections, interface statistics, masquerade connections, and multicast memberships. But it's not quite as simple to use as some of of the other “discovery†tools (such as ifconfig). With netstat you really do need to know what you're looking for and how to find it. This article will help you to understand just that.
