The Windows command prompt can be very useful as it provides direct access to many console applications that come with the Windows operating system.
Here
are some useful network commands you might like to try from the command prompt:
| netstat | Displays protocol statistics and current TCP/IP network connections. | |
| netstat -r | Displays the routing table. | |
| netstat -s | Displays per-protocol statistics. | |
| netstat -e | Displays ethernet statistics. | |
| netstat -an | Displays all connections and listening ports in numerical form. | |
| netstat -ano | The same as netstat -an, but also displays the parent process *Windows XP only | |
| nbtstat -s | Lists sessions table converting destination IP addresses to computer NETBIOS names. | |
| nbtstat -n | Lists local NetBIOS names. | |
| route print | Displays the network routing tables. | |
| net accounts | Displays network accounts settings. | |
| net view | Displays the network neighbourhood.. |
You may have to be in your Windows system directory before using these commands, as that is where the program files exist.
