Using Windows networking commands
Use Windows networking commands to help you gather
network information and troubleshoot problems. To
access a DOS command window from a computer, click
Start, click Programs and then click Command Prompt
or MS-DOS Prompt. The command window opens.
IPConfig (WinNT only): Displays the TCP/IP-related
configuration of a host. Use the /all option with this
command to list a configuration report for all the host’s
interfaces, including any configured serial ports
(RAS).
Winipcfg (WIN 95/98): Provides the same function as
the IPConfig command for Windows 95/98
computers.
Ping: Allows you to verify IP-level connectivity. It
sends an echo request to a target IP address or host
name. You should first try pinging the IP address first.
If that succeeds, then try pinging the host name.
If pinging by address succeeds, but pinging by name
fails, the problem lies in name resolution, not network
connectivity.
