1. Ping
Of all the Windows 10 network commands, Ping is probably the one almost everyone knows about and has
used before. The Ping command allows you to test the reachability of a device on a network. Pinging a host
should return four data packets, if the data packets are not returned you know there is a problem with your
network connection.
2. IPConfig
The IPConfig command is one of the more useful basic Windows network commands everyone should know
and use to troubleshoot problems. The IPConfig command displays basic IP address configuration information
for the Windows device you are working on. In fact, the command will display information for every network
adapter that has ever been installed on your Windows 10
3, Getmac :- Every network capable device on the internet has a unique identifying number called its MAC
address. The number is assigned during manufacture and is established in the hardware of the device. Using
the Getmac command, a user can determine the MAC address of their various network devices. Some
administrators will use the unique MAC addresses of devices to limit what can and cannot connect to a
network.
4. HostName The Windows 10 HostName network command will simply display the current name of your Windows 10 computer. This is the name your computer uses to identify itself to the other devices and servers on your local network. You can find this name in the System information screen in the GUI, but this command is quicker.
7. Netstat The Netstat command displays active TCP connections, ports on which the computer is listening, Ethernet statistics, the IP routing table, IPv4 statistics, and IPv6 statistics. When used without parameters, this command displays active TCP connections. The information this command provides can be useful in pinpointing problems in your network connections. 8. Arp The Windows 10 network command Arp displays entries in the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache, which contains one or more tables that are used to store IP addresses and their resolved Ethernet physical addresses. To get useful information from the Arp command you must provide a parameter. The most general parameter is /a, which displays current Arp cache tables for all interfaces.
9. PathPing Generally speaking, the Windows 10 network command PathPing combines the ping command with the tracert command, providing information about network latency and network loss at intermediate hops between a source and destination.
10. SystemInfo
The last command on our list is the SystemInfo command, which displays a detailed list of configuration information about your Windows 10 PC. The information listed by this command is too lengthy to mention in full but includes the installed version of Windows 10, the host name, the Product ID, the type and number of CPUs, RAM configuration, network card
details and installed hotfixes.
