    The Essentials of Networking Network Card Troubleshooting Use Device Manager –> NIC properties for information/configuration. Change duplex and wake-on LAN settings there Link lights show connectivity, activity, and (sometimes) speed. Full-Duplex–the NIC is talking & listening at the same time.

Working With Connections–NETSTAT The ‘netstat’ command shows important information about connections. Use netstat switches ‘-n’ and ‘-a’ as needed. Consider a 3rd-party tool, such as TCPView as an alternative to netstat. TCPView is from SysInternals website. Netstat–shows statistics for different connections (usually TCP/UDP) ex: Windows folder sharing–(Port 445) TCPView is a ‘3rd-party’ tool…

Many commands use switches ( -n, -a, etc.) All shells offer some form of help. (Type <help> or /?) Navigating the CLI: Windows/Linux Use the ‘cd’ command in all OSes to move the prompt to different folders/directories. Make sure you can use the ‘cd’ command in Windows, Mac and Linux environments to navigate a system. (Mac & Linux are based on Unix.) To change drives in Windows, type the drive letter…
