A Problem With Netstat

I am using Windows ME and having the following problems with netstat /
command.com.

When I run netstat it just runs real quick and disappears, not allowing me
time to see what it displays. I have tried running command.com and changing
the directory to the C:\Windows\System folder where Netstat is at. When I
run command.com and then run netstat, I get this:

C:\Windows\System>netstat
The interface initialization has failed: 2

Can anyone help me me with this? I haven't been able to find anything in
the knowledge database concerning interface initialization, let alone
failures dealing with such. I haven't seen anything with netstat that has
helped with this. I haven't even managed to find much helpful info when I
search for troubleshooting netstat. If anyone has any knowledgebase search
ideas or tips on fixing this, please let me know!

Thanks in advance.

Try using a redirection operator, for example: netstat>filename.txt
will send the output to filename.txt. Or Netstat>lpt1 will
send it to printer on lpt1. Search MS KB for "command redirection
operators" and you should get information on redirectors and their use.

For starters, It shouldn't be in the System directory, but one up in
C:\WINDOWS.

That being said, it should still run from just about wherever you strt it
from: desktop, windows, sytem, etc. It is one of those things in Windows
code that shoud work pretty much no matter what.

Check that PATH is checked under the Environment tab in MSCONFIG and that
the path listed is correct.
