Viewing Connection Details

You can view the details of connections on your computer by using the Network Connections folder and selecting Details using the More Options toolbar item. Using this method, you can view the connection status, device name, connectivity, network category, owner, type, and phone number of the host address of the remote server.

Use the Network Connections folder to view detailed information about connections.

Note You can view additional information for a connection including media state (connected or disconnected), duration (uptime), bytes sent and received, IP address details, and other data by right-clicking a connection in the Network Connections folder and selecting Status. This information can also be viewed by displaying the VAN, right-clicking the connection, and selecting Status.
