# Status of TCP connections (classic)

The status of a TCP connection can be one of the following:

**established**\
The remote party has accepted the TCP connection and it is still active.

**closed**\
The system closed the TCP connection after it was successfully established.

**no service**\
The remote party acknowledged the initial SYN message by an RST message, for example the remote party does exist, but no service is bound to the request port. Most personal computers are protected by a firewall that discards RST messages to prevent effective port scanning.

**no host**\
The remote party does not acknowledge the SYN message, for example, the remote party does not exist or it is protected by a firewall.

**rejected**\
The operating system itself rejected the TCP connection, possibly due to security settings.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nexthink.com/platform/references/references-classic/database-information-and-organization-classic/status-of-tcp-connections-classic.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
