I was attempting your suggestion on my W98 PC and it uses &quot;command&quot; not &quot;cmd&quot;, so I figured you were refering to the NT system and when I typed &quot;cmd&quot; on my Server and Workstation, lo and behold...it worked. &nbsp;Thanks! &nbsp;Too many PC's here :)

This is making me feel like an idiot but when I try to run a DOS command, for example: ipconfig or ping etc, the DOS window flashes and then disappears. &nbsp;I know I'm missing a check or command somewhere...any help out there? &nbsp;Thanks, Doreen

DOS window flashes...then gone

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
