You’ve probably used IPConfig to get your IP address and have even used IPConfig /all. So what is another way to see your configuration?
netsh interface ip show config
This command gives your NIC card information
What if you wanted to open a port quickly on your client computers? You can write a quick script and use –
netsh firewall set portopening tcp 445 smb enable (Replace the 445 with the port number you need to open)
What rules have you set on your firewall?
netsh advfirewall firewall show rule name=all
The rules will ‘fly’ by so you can use the following command to ‘capture’ all of the rules to a text file
netsh advfirewall firewall show rule name=all >c:\text\firewallrules.txt
Or you can use these to turn it on or off –
netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state on
netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off
