Question

A user sent an email requesting that a technician check if a computer is on and connected to the Internet so the user can login from home.

IPCONFIG shows local network configuration, NETSTAT displays active connections on the local machine, and NSLOOKUP resolves DNS names - none of these remotely confirm another machine's online status the way PING does.
