Run this on your server: <?PHP $netstat_info=netstat -l; echo $netstat_info; ?> Assuming it has permissions, and all the stars are aligned, you should get the output of the 'netstat -l' command echoed to the screen. Once you have that, you can parse through the text in $netstat_info for what you want, or modify the command more to your liking (ie $netstat_info=netstat -l | grep 5514;) or whatever. JM
