    .SYNOPSIS
	    Display current TCP/IP connections for local or remote system

    .FUNCTIONALITY
        Computers

    .DESCRIPTION
	    Display current TCP/IP connections for local or remote system.  Includes the process ID (PID) and process name for each connection.
	    If the port is not yet established, the port number is shown as an asterisk (*).	
	
    .PARAMETER ProcessName
	    Gets connections by the name of the process. The default value is '*'.
	
    .PARAMETER Port
	    The port number of the local computer or remote computer. The default value is '*'.

    .PARAMETER Address
	    Gets connections by the IP address of the connection, local or remote. Wildcard is supported. The default value is '*'.

    .PARAMETER Protocol
	    The name of the protocol (TCP or UDP). The default value is '*' (all)
	
    .PARAMETER State
	    Indicates the state of a TCP connection. The possible states are as follows:
		
	    Closed       - The TCP connection is closed. 
	    Close_Wait   - The local endpoint of the TCP connection is waiting for a connection termination request from the local user. 
	    Closing      - The local endpoint of the TCP connection is waiting for an acknowledgement of the connection termination request sent previously. 
	    Delete_Tcb   - The transmission control buffer (TCB) for the TCP connection is being deleted. 
	    Established  - The TCP handshake is complete. The connection has been established and data can be sent. 
	    Fin_Wait_1   - The local endpoint of the TCP connection is waiting for a connection termination request from the remote endpoint or for an acknowledgement of the connection termination request sent previously. 
	    Fin_Wait_2   - The local endpoint of the TCP connection is waiting for a connection termination request from the remote endpoint. 
	    Last_Ack     - The local endpoint of the TCP connection is waiting for the final acknowledgement of the connection termination request sent previously. 
	    Listen       - The local endpoint of the TCP connection is listening for a connection request from any remote endpoint. 
	    Syn_Received - The local endpoint of the TCP connection has sent and received a connection request and is waiting for an acknowledgment. 
	    Syn_Sent     - The local endpoint of the TCP connection has sent the remote endpoint a segment header with the synchronize (SYN) control bit set and is waiting for a matching connection request. 
	    Time_Wait    - The local endpoint of the TCP connection is waiting for enough time to pass to ensure that the remote endpoint received the acknowledgement of its connection termination request. 
	    Unknown      - The TCP connection state is unknown.
	
	    Values are based on the TcpState Enumeration:

    .PARAMETER ComputerName
        If defined, run this command on a remote system via WMI.  \\computername\c$\netstat.txt is created on that system and the results returned here

    .PARAMETER ShowHostNames
        If specified, will attempt to resolve local and remote addresses.

    .PARAMETER tempFile
        Temporary file to store results on remote system.  Must be relative to remote system (not a file share).  Default is "C:\netstat.txt"

    .PARAMETER AddressFamily
        Filter by IP Address family: IPv4, IPv6, or the default, * (both).

        If specified, we display any result where both the localaddress and the remoteaddress is in the address family.
