Acessing Other Computers From the Command Line

[Labradoodle]

Can you access other computers from the command line?

I've tried cd \\computer\share\file but it tells me It does not support the UNC paths which lead me to believe there is another way to access another computer.

I'm trying to do this to access the computers ipconfig, tracert, and nslookup commands so I can create a program to display the information of each command in a window after you select the computer name. 

Thank you in advance

If you go to the command prompt and enter in "NET HELP" (without the quotations) it should give you a list of all the "NET" commands. Should look like this:


Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\Username>net help
The syntax of this command is:


NET HELP
command
      -or-
NET command /HELP

   Commands available are:

   NET ACCOUNTS             NET HELP              NET SHARE
   NET COMPUTER             NET HELPMSG           NET START
   NET CONFIG               NET LOCALGROUP        NET STATISTICS
   NET CONFIG SERVER        NET NAME              NET STOP
   NET CONFIG WORKSTATION   NET PAUSE             NET TIME
   NET CONTINUE             NET PRINT             NET USE
   NET FILE                 NET SEND              NET USER
   NET GROUP                NET SESSION           NET VIEW

   NET HELP SERVICES lists some of the services you can start.
   NET HELP SYNTAX explains how to read NET HELP syntax lines.
   NET HELP command | MORE displays Help one screen at a time.

From hereon you can get specific help on each net command, which can do various things, such as access other computers on the network.
