The document provides instructions on using various command-line tools for network administration, including nslookup, tracert, ipconfig, and netstat. It details how to query DNS records, trace IP packet paths, and display TCP/IP configurations. Additionally, it covers specific commands and options for troubleshooting network issues and managing server connections.

1. c: bstat
C:> nslookup
Default Server: pdc.corp.example.com
Address: 192.168.6.13
> server 10.255.255.255
Default Server: dns1.example.com
Address: 10.255.255.255
> set q=mx
> contoso.com.
At a command prompt, type Nslookup, and then press ENTER.
Type server , where IP address is the IP address of your external DNS server.
Type set q=MX, and then press ENTER.
Type , where domain name is the name of an external mail domain, and then press ENTER. The
mail exchanger (MX) resource record for the domain that you entered should be displayed. If the
MX record is not displayed, DNS is not configured to resolve external domain names.

packet takes to its destination C; tracert mediacollege.com Tracing a route to
