I believe the command you are looking for is "Ping".
For example, if your computer has an IP address of 192.168.0.2, and the other computer has an IP address of 192.168.0.3, then you would type
ping 192.168.0.3
... from the .2 computer. You should see response times.
The etymology is from ping-pong. You send a ping from one computer to another, it sends a pong back.
Shutdown over Network... You can simply go to the computer on the network through the command prompt and type: Shutdown -s This will turn your computer off in 60 seconds to stop this just type: Shutdown -a There are many more options to the Shutdown command.
Yes shutdown <computer IP shutdown>
The ping command won't tell you the name of a computer on a LAN by using the network address. Using other commands such as nslookup may help with that.
you need two phone lines to share the internet with your x box
A firewall is the tool that blocks ports, programs, or any other network traffic from incoming or outgoing connections.
B. Netwerkkaart, Programmatuur & koordlose- of kabelverbinding / Network card, Software & Cabling or wireless connection In order for a computer to communicate, you typically need a network card (Netwerkkaart) to physically connect to a network, software (Programmatuur) to manage and control communication, and either cabling (kabelverbinding) or a wireless connection (koordlose- of kabelverbinding) to establish the actual connection to a network or other computers. This combination of hardware (network card), software, and the connection medium (cabling or wireless) is necessary for effective computer communication.
The feature you are referring to is called Internet Connection Sharing, or ICS for short. This allows a computer with a direct connection to the internet to "share" that connection with other computers on a network. There are many ways to accomplish this, and it depends on your network setup. You can share a connection via a wired or wireless network connection (the LAN portion, or Local Area Network). For information on ICS, see the related links.
A network interface card (NIC) typically has a physical connection to a network, such as Ethernet or wireless. This connection allows the NIC to communicate with other devices on the network.
As every computer on the network requires a direct connection to every other computer, it requires a lot of cabling and is only really practical with a small amount of computers that are together in one location.
you need a remote desktop software (rdc) or a virtual private network software (vpn) or a virtual network client and host software (vnc) then the ip of the computers which you want to connect to in command prompt or if you own a server you can rdp them
Computer act as end devices between whom the communication is established by networking process.
Basically, one computer is used as a "bridge" for the other computer. So in the Network Connections, you have a wizard to create a new connection. If the other PC is connected direclty with a modem, then your other computer will have access to internet via this other comp.
