    No, your "ping" and "netstat" are WINDOWS commands (Unix originally obviously), they are not part of DOS, nor do they run in DOS.

    The Windows command prompt is not a DOS prompt. Although you can run some dos programs from there, many of the programs are in fact Windows 32-bit console mode applications.

    IT IS NOT DOS

    Ok, glad we've cleared that one up

    OK. there is a neat little utility called netcat. It is available for unix,
    and for windows.

    In windows, it runs as a command line application,
    so you could say it runs in DOS, but not plain DOS, a DOS
    window under windows.

    Both you and your friend must have it installed on your own computers
    and be connected to the net. The executable is NC.EXE

    One of you types this command nc -l -p 1234
    where "1234" is an arbitrary port number. 1234 would work, in fact.

    The second guy types (on his computer) nc <ip address> 1234
    where "ip address" is his buddies ip address.

    now the two of you can type anything you want and it appears on each
    others screen.
    type CONTROL-C to break the connection.
    I came in to the world with nothing. I still have most of it.
