I have been using this API function a lot on older versions of windows to collect per connection tcp statistics.

Its behaviour seems to have changed of late. Previously disabling and re-enabling statistics would reset the counters for the statistics. This does not happen any more.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a better place to ask this question if this forum is the incorrect location.

thanks

Thanks for your reply. This is not a command but a win32 api call

This has been acknowledged as a problem by MS. The behaviour is not documented.

Probably want to ask this one on a development forum as far as MS documentation is concerned the function and related functions have not changed.

Since when did you notice this behavior?
What other command do you run just before running this?
Is there a change in your habit of running this command before or after some other commands?

It may be that you have changed the sequence of running some commands which cause this behavior.
If Microsoft changed the command execution then they would have brought it to the notice of the people in their documentation.
