Subject: Close a connection from the cmd line?

cookieJones, Wireshark is a free interface tracer. I am a rank armature, but have found it very useful on several occasions. It is found here. There is a free utility called TCPKill that will do issue the RST but it is Linux only. I also found references to TCPKillNT but could not find the code. I do not know about the TCP reset flag except the Netsh command to reset the TCP stack which is much more than you want. I would assume that a programmer would be able to write a script (eg, VBS...) to issue the RST to an IP via a local port. Enjoy, J.

EDIT: Here is the Wireshark trace of the Close Connection using TCPView:
18 7.518062000 192.168.233.129 82.131.160.82 TCP 54 1173 > 80 [RST, ACK] Seq=213 Ack=3883 Win=0 Len=0
My machine (192.168.233.129) is sending a RST from port 1173 to 82.131.160.82:80.
