Did you try to search AO... I bet you did not.. try AO search engine... it is better than google... lol..

And this if you are really lazy:

Telnet <target IP or hostname> <Port number>

Mession completed...

Again, you need to ask SPECIFIC questions.

MS-DOS doesn't have a telnet command. Hell, it doesn't even have a TCP/IP stack.

Or do you mean a command prompt on win9x/2K/XP?
If so it sounds like your path is screwed up.

Start -> Run... -> cmd.exe (if you're on 2K/XP) and type path on the prompt.
Tell us what that tells you. It should atleast contain c:\windows\;c:\windows\system32;.
