I have to suspect it is somehow hardcoded into your version of
netstat.exe. I'd have to look at your copy of netstat to know if this is
really the case. I know of nothing in the protocol headers that provide
the service name in text form.

That dates are irrelevant, since it is perfectly legal to edit the
services file. It's one way of locking out undesirable services.

The same is true for protocol.

There is a TCP/IP API call to convert a port number to an service name,
and that is what I would expect netstat to use. Are you sure you have ETC
pointing to the directory containing the small services file?

Regards,

Steven
