If you give the netstat command to a windows workstation..
most likely is you will get..
TIME_WAIT
TCP test-workstation:24505 test-workstation.mshome.net:2869 TIME_WAIT
TCP test-workstation:27480 test-workstation.mshome.net:2869 TIME_WAIT
Plus some more with established connections either http or netbios or ftp..or or..
My question is ..can these connections..at least the ones that are considered to
be dead removed from the TCP/IP connection ? They are not literally alive...
but they are on the progress i guess..So can they actually removed ?
So you dont have to browse through 300 of these ones..especially if you are
in a network of 300 workstations with File /Print shares enabled....
