Hub & Switch and ping

Like this:
[code:1]
ipconfig 1.2.3.4 255.255.255.0
[/code:1]

This doesn't work on my XP Pro PC. Which OS are you using S0lo? I don't think this works on a Windows OS - you'd have to use netsh interface .... as I indicated above.

SteveP, It won't work on windows or any thing. It's "packet tracer". The emulated PCs in it has these commands.

So packet tracer is going to teach me commands that are useless?

I suspected that may have been the case in view of the "PC>" prompt rather than "C:\WINDOWS\system32>"

The router and switch commands are the same as the real ones.

So how do I learn Windows OS commands? Need a different emulator?
