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:

1. Select the Services tab.
   
   
2. Enter in the Host text box a host name or IP address for the remote host (for example, www.mit.edu).
   
   The drop-down list shows the previous host names or IP addresses you have queried.
   
   
3. Set in the Options dialog box any of the services you want to check.
   
   
4. Click the Check button.
   
   The Services tool checks a remote host. The results of the check appear in the Response area.
   
   During the check, the Check button toggles to Stop. You can click Stop at any time to stop the check.
