Khan,
NetView is not a portscanner. I will monitor ports if you so
desire, but it will not identify what is running on that port.
You might want to take a look at nmap(google it), which is an
indespensible network security tool.

Quick blurb from the nmap page:
*Flexible*: Supports dozens of advanced techniques for mapping out networks filled with IP filters, firewalls, routers, and other obstacles. This includes many port scanning <http://www.insecure.org/nmap/nmap_doc.html> mechanisms (both TCP & UDP), OS detection <http://www.insecure.org/nmap/nmap-fingerprinting-article.html>, version detection <http://www.insecure.org/nmap/versionscan.html>, ping sweeps, and more. See the documentation page <http://www.insecure.org/nmap/nmap_documentation.html>.

Hello All:

Can we use Netview to query all of the well-known ports (1,024) and report back on what ports Netview finds open. Can Netview handle this?
