How to know what program(s) connect to internet

Hi. If you are using internet connection that limited amount of data and you want to know what programs currently using internet connection so you can close them.

Thank you data from Computertech251 on Youtube!

Let's begin.

1.first go to Run > cmd > OK

2.Type in this command: "netstat -ano" without quotes > press Enter.

3.Long list will appear. Look in State and PID Columns. If you see word "Established" in State Columns, look in PID columns and write them down. Now you can close this window.

4.Go to Run > taskmgr > OK , Windows Task Manager will open. Then go to processes tab.

5.Go to View > Select Columns...

6.Check  the box "PID (Process Identifier)" and click OK.

7.Click on PID column to arrange the list. (Optional, but make things easier to find.)

8. Match the PID from step 3 with the list in Task Manager. You will know what program is using your internet and can close them now.

Check program name from "Description" column. (Note: Don't end processes them, your works will lost!)

Thank you! Hope this help you!
