Services is a network tool that lets
you verify a host for available network services.
The tool displays the currently active port and
the usual service assigned to it.
You can use the Services tool to find hidden
services like Web servers or FTP.
To use the Services tool, do the following:
Select the Services tab.
Enter in the Host text box a host name or
IP address of the remote host (for example,
www.ibm.com).
The drop-down list shows
the previous host names or IP addresses you
have queried.
Set in the Options dialog box any of the
options you want to use:
Services
Set in the Services list any of the services
you want to verify.
Bypass ping
When this option is checked, the Services
tool verifies a host for available services,
regardless of if the host answers an ICMP echo
request.
Tip: You can
choose both port and protocol from the current
list of network port numbers and add a new network
service to the list.
Click the Verify button.
The Services
tool verifies a remote host. The results of
the verification appear in the Response area.
During the verification, the Verify button
toggles to Stop. You can click Stop at any time
to stop the verifying.
Tip: You can right-click the
Response area to display the pop-up menu.
