This dialog allows you to
configure the filters used for displaying the information in the
NetStat window. By default, NetStat lists all of your computer's
network connections. This list is usually rather long, and you may
want to filter out some of the items that are unimportant to
you.
To create a new filter, enter
the Value, select the filter type
(Local
IP, Local
Port, etc.), and
click Add
Record. To remove a
filter, select it from the list and click Clear
Selected. Once you have
created one or several new filters, you should select the
Action.
If you select Show, NetStat will display only the connections
that match the filter(s). If you select Ignore,
NetStat will not display any connection that matches the filter(s).
If you have created multiple filters, you should also choose
Boolean
logic to be used: it can be
either And (Filter 1 and Filter 2 and Filter 3, etc.)
or Or (Filter 1 or Filter 2 or Filter 3, etc.).
The screen shot above illustrates a rule set that makes NetStat
hide the connections where the remote port is
80, or
local port
is 139,
or process
name is svchost.exe.
Additionally, you can use the
following basic filters:
·
|
Don't show UDP
statistics – check this
box if you don't want to have UDP connections listed in the NetStat
window. |
·
|
Don't show TCP
statistics - check this
box if you don't want to have TCP connections listed in the NetStat
window. |
·
|
Show established
only - check this box if
you want the NetStat window to list established connections only.
All other connections (listening, closing, etc.) will not be
listed. |
You can temporarily disable
filters by selecting the Disable Filters
command in the NetStat context
menu.
