The Usage of Command Prompt

Command prompt is command line interpreter in Microsoft Windows, which is commonly used to administer your Windows OS by using commands only (no graphical interface). It’s easy to use, and so I like this tool!

Here is quick way to trigger this handy tool: Go to Start and then click run…, after that type cmd or cmd.exe and click OK button, after that this prompt will appear.

What commands are supported? Type help and then hit enter key, it will show you list of supported commands.

To know the details of using the command, just type command ?, example ipconfig ?

Here is an example of using ping to check the connectivity with other computer. If you see the reply from other computer, that means the network connectivity between your computer and other computer works fine.
