what is the ms-dos command for when you want to know what ip address is pinging you?

Question

I know the command to ping an ip address on MS-DOS, but how will I be able to retrieve the ip addresses who have pinged me?

Answer 1

I don't think you can get an IP from a ping, but if they connect to your machine you can get their IP with the netstat command

Answer 2

cd or chdir: Change current directory. Displays the current working directory when used without parameters cls: Clears the screen. copy: Copies files from one location to another. The destination defaults to the current directory. If multiple source files are indicated, the destination must be a directory, or an error will result. dir: Lists the contents of a directory. exit: Exits the current command processor. help: Gives help about DOS. (5.x and later) md or mkdir: Makes a new directory. The parent of the directory specified will be created if it does not already exist. move: Moves files or renames directories. rd or rmdir: Remove a directory, which by default must be empty of files for the command to succeed (the /s flag removes this restriction). ren: Renames a file. Unlike the move command, this command cannot be used to rename subdirectories, or rename files across drives.

Answer 3

You would need to install a packet analyzer to do that, most likely something with libpcap (windump, ethereal, dsniff, etc)

Or you could configure your personal firewall to log them.

If you install windump you can run windump icmp and you will see the incoming and outgoing icmp packets.


Ping responses are handled by the OS not by the network card. (Network card is at layer 2 and deals with MAC addresses, layer 3 is handled by the OS.)

netstat will not show you icmp messages.

Answer 4

A ping gets a response from the network card, it never gets to the operating system, so you can't.

Answer 5

try this in command line: netstat -an
this will show you the details. lol......good luck!

Answer 6

try either netstat or nslookup
