MS Command Line Syntax

My main computer is packed away and I've left some data on it.

Can anyone remind me of the syntax for various command line Network
tools.

I'm running MSXP Home.

At the command prompt 'net /?' gives the syntax for the 'net' command
which reveals a 'net help' sub-command and that says to use 'net help
command' for help on the sub-commands.

netstat
ipconfig
ping
tracert
ipconfig /all
ftp
telnet
net
netsh
nbtstat
nslookup
pathping


they are all bit a few of the probable networking commands available in
windows XP's CLI which is a dumbed down version of DOS, hope this helps

tried some old windows NT commands like whoami and they dont work

all above commands work, why dont you just use gui to configure?

Er, no that isn't true actually. Although real-mode DOS is no longer
accessible, it's commands have actually been enhanced.

Btw Geoff, for info on any command: 1. open a DOS window 2. type command /?

Yes, thanks.

Sometimes a quick command line entry gets the info just as quick if
not more so.

Thanks for the info.

It all comes flooding back - I've used DOS quite a bit in the past but
one tends to forget the syntax when not used for a while - or is it
old age :-)))

As they used to say:
Real men use DOS
GUI's are for W.I.M.P's

You should be typing in your own machine code.

thats where you are wrong

i tested all those commands before posting in XP home SP2

Start --> Run --> cmd

they all show up either options for the command and help implimenting it or
actually run

maybe you should test things before you dis credit them?
