Welcome



Ive made this blog to show you commands you can use in command prompt and how to use them



Now, say you got here not knowing what the cmd prompt is?

Well, the cmd prompt is a console on windows operating systems that controls your computer, from it you can do anything on your computer, and saves the hard work finding where to launch it from normally



The cmd prompt can also let you control your network (lan or wlan). You can remotely shutdown someone elses computer on your network for example.

It is also the only way to find your internal ip address



In my posts i will show you how to open, use and master the cmd prompt

Network tricks (intermediate)

net view
Typing this shows all of the computers' names in your network/domain

net send (computer name) (message)
Typing this will send a message to any computer you type in. ex. net send User hello

net send * (message)
Typing this will send a message to all computers in your domain or network that are online. ex. net send * hello

net send /domain (message)
This does the exact same thing as the above, it sends a message to all computers in your domain or network. ex. net send /domain hello

net send (ip address) (message)
This supposobly sends a message to the computers ip you type in, (if this works please tell me) ex. net send 16.21.36.2 hello

shutdown -i
This allows you to shutdown any computer in your domain/ network remotly.

shutdown -m \\(computer name)
This is the same thing as the above it just is quicker. ex. shutdown -m \\user

ipconfig
Shows your internal IP address e.g. 192.168.2.1

c'est vrm nice le shutdown -i ;D
mais j'ai une question. est ce quon peut changer notre adresse ip?

well, the internal ip address is internal within the 'LAN' network and is set by the router/modem (whichever you may use)
If you are using a router; the router is either using DHCP (automatic ip assignment AKA Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) or static (set manually)

But most modern routers use DHCP, and basically just disconnecting and reconnecting can change your internal IP address, although it may well not as it will only change if another internal IP address is taken/freed

Another method is to run this in cmd:

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

which will release the current LAN settings and then renew them, but again it may not necessarily change it

Hope this helps :)
