Hi

Just wondered if windows still had tools such as whois,  netstat,  ping,
nslookup included,  I am asking as one of the rugby club members asked
me who owns the paigntonrugby.co.uk domain,  being a linux user I used
whois,  and got the answer easily,  (well sort of, got a company
name,but no other details such as address)  just wondered if these tools
are in windows,  i had heard some were being removed.


thanks

Paul

whois is conspicuous by it's absence,
Actually no, whois is still there, along with the three Simon mentioned and also tracert. Also the command line ftp is still there, which was handy when I had a friend whose Internet Explorer had died. I gave her the FTP address for the latest Firefox install and she downloaded and installed that instead :)
