DOS command question

[MickeyFinn]

If I have a simple TCP connection to somebody and want to cut it, what is the DOS command for that? Net Stop or somethin right?

[spyder913]

net stop/start are for services. Kill whatever process is doing the connection would be the best bet.

[MickeyFinn]

Nah, can't do it that way. Say I'm playing a game in Warcraft and I'm hosting a 5v5 but some dick is being a feeder and just suiciding to ruin the game. I need to be able to cut him off gangsta style

[spyder913]

well in that case you could use a software firewall and block his IP.

[MickeyFinn]

ack! i asked what the dos command was! i know i'm close. i use netstat to find the connections, and now i have to remember the kill command

[spyder913]

just fyi..there is no 'DOS' anymore ;)

[Rooster]

Hrm... I don't know of a DOS command to do it.

[Noleader]

There is no DOS command to kill a single connection. DOS was not built for server management. My advice would be looking into a good TCP/IP traffic management software (IE simple firewall).

[MickeyFinn]

I found a way to kill the socket (which is what I wanted), so I'm happy now! I needed to get kill.exe to get it to work. Thanks guys :)

[Rooster]

Well, post your solution.

You should learn just STFU when you don't know the answer or do what roo does and be honest.

[Rooster]

He (Spyder) is right though.

This is not to say that there isn't a new way to do it... XP has all kinda of cool CLI tricks. (Command Line interface)

And Knewfie, there's no reason to get ugly about it.

[MickeyFinn]

Who the heck is that guy?

[Rooster]

No idea... but he's talking to Spyder like some n00b. Heh.

:fuct:

Retards want there 5 minutes too :)

so mentioning netstat got me curious.. and I ran it on mine.. but all mine say
localhost: (numbers) in the foreign Address.

Anyone know how I can find out what those are?

Speaking of DOS commands in XP....I've been trying to figure out how to send messages across my home network. I use "Net Send <Computer> <Message>" at work, but I cant get this to work at home. Just 2 computers linked together by 2 port router. Anyone that can help?

[Noleader]

If the computers do not have IP addresses you will need to get that setup first. If they do then just change the <computer name> part with the computers IP address.

also make sure the messenger service is started. I believe service pack 2 set it to disabled by default because of all the spam that used to come across it

[Rooster]

Definitely have to have the Messenger service running (not MS Messenger).
