C:\dosshell ... easy to use.

 

i hav a classic copy of wolfenstein 3d on an actual floppy disk or 5 1/4" i guess.

 

doing adsl installs i use dos (command prompt) practically every day

ipconfig/all - ipconfig/release - ip/renew - ping our modem or router's default gateway ip - & ping a website

i do this on practically every install or repair. it's a great troubleshhoting tool. i have even used it to show customers that they have a corrupted internet explorer when it'll ping a website by ip address but not www address. (this never happens because windows never gets corrupted )

:lmfao:

 

I remember DOS but never really got into using computers until 3.1. Then I owned on MSPaint aka pcpaintbrush.

 

The best way to troubleshoot network connectivity is command prompt. NSLOOKUP, NET STAT, IPCONFIG /ALL, /PURGEDNS, /RENEW, /RELEASE, /REGISTER DNS, NBTSTAT, etc ... its so quick and tells you everything you need to troubleshoot network connections.

 

that's not internet explorer, that's tcp/ip :rofl:

 

that's not tcp/ip, it's winsock.

 

in my experience, if you can get to something by ip but not name, it's tcp/ip

if you have a valid ip but can't get there name OR ip, it's winsock

 

shit

:rofl::rofl:

 

I remember typing dir/w to look for pr0n on my friend's computer... hahah
