The above tells you how to use Netstat. It is a hidden utility in Windows that shows your computer's connections to the rest of the Internet. Netstat is useful to track the IP address of a friend, for example, or to find your own IP address. It gives you information on all your system's open connections, including local and remote ports and protocols. It can even tell you if you are infected with a Trojan.

"The Windows XP Readiness Test uses PC Pitstop's ActiveX technology to collect information about your PC and compares it with the requirements for running Windows XP. It also checks popular applications with known or possible incompatibilities with the new OS. The XP Readiness Test is administered by a utility that runs on your PC; none of the data is saved or sent over the Internet. You must have Internet Explorer version 4.0 or higher to run the test."
