Need DOS command

#1 Post by SickSquirrel » 01 Jan 2014 15:02

Years ago I used to go into a DOS window, type the IP with something and the port, to see if it is open. If so I used to ban on my own server. (IP is of my forum's spammers).

Segue to 2014. Lost memory due to illness five years ago. Can't remember the command OR port. 82?

I'm on Windows 7. Help appreciated. Thanks.

The only native command that uses a port number that I can think of is telnet.

most of the networking commands some how or rather does as long as they are involved in the tcp/ip stack. ftp, netstat etc comes to mind.

That's it -- telnet! Thank you. Where do I go for help with telnet commands?

You could type "telnet /?" for general help, or you could just type "telnet" hit enter and then type "help" and hit enter again for command-help inside a telnet session.

Or, if you prefer, you could look here or here.
