Today topic (Network cmd, ping, building a VPN)

How to list computer names on the network through CMD :

Open a new instance of the command prompt by hitting the start button, typing CMD and hitting enter.

The output of this command is handled by the Net View command, however we are going to be passing in our own parameters to find a computer name.

The syntax is as follows:

Net view /i your parameters

By using a pipe( | ) we can pass our parameters to the find a command.

This /i is the ignore case and will ignore case sensitivity when finding your result.

What is Ping ?

Ping is a program that install on windows that is used to test the latency of your connection.

The program is text based, which means you have to use text based commands to operate it,

much like the early computer from the 70s.

ping is very useful because it is native to your machine so you dont't have to download or install any new software to use it.
