Get Active Network Connections in VBScript from .Net Properties

There is a .NET method used for retrieving TCP and UDP connection information as listed below:

[Net.NetworkInformation.IPGlobalProperties]::GetIPGlobalProperties().GetActiveTcpConnections()
[Net.NetworkInformation.IPGlobalProperties]::GetIPGlobalProperties().GetActiveUdpConnections()

I was curious if there is a way to do the same via VBScript? I would like to have the output of all of the connections, similar to a netstat -an output, returned in a VBscript that I am using for network documentation. If this is possible via a WMI query, I would be interested in that as well.

Here are some links for reference to the .Net methods listed:

Your best bet would be to use PowerShell, which has direct access to .NET.

The other option would be to run Netstat.exe from WScript.Shell and parse the results, as per Netstat with WMI and VBScript.
