Connection to Remote Host Hangs

To determine why a TCP/IP connection to a remote computer is not working properly, use the netstat -a command to show the status of all activity on TCP and UDP ports on the local computer.

A good TCP connection usually shows 0 bytes in the Sent and Received queues. If data is blocked in either queue or if the state is irregular, the connection is probably faulty. If not, you are probably experiencing network or application delay.
