Is there a way to examine the status of a specific port from the Windows command line? I know I can use netstat to examine all ports but netstat is slow and looking at a specific port probably isn't.

Answer: Open the Run command and type cmd to open the command prompt. Type: “netstat –na” and hit enter. Find port 445 under the Local Address and check the State. If it says Listening, your port is open.
Because ping doesn't operate over a protocol with port numbers, you cannot ping a particular port on a machine. However, you can use other tools to open a connection to a particular IP and port and obtain the same information you would get if you could ping an IP and port.
Netstat, the TCP/IP networking utility, has a simple set of options and identifies a computer's listening ports, along with incoming and outgoing network connections.
Here is the easy solution of port finding...
In cmd:
netstat -na | find "8080" In bash:
netstat -na | grep "8080" In PowerShell:
netstat -na | Select-String "8080" If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
