    How to View Open Connections

    Is there a way that you can view which connections are open and closed through C? Im on Windows 2000 and would like to know when I become disconnected from different websites. Thanks ahead.

    thanks. Is there a way to store the result to a variable instead of printing to a console?

    You have linked to the library Iphlpapi.lib? (not just included its header)
