Here is the quick summary and few commands are in details:
1. nslookup
The nslookup tool can help you to verify that DNS name resolution is working correctly. When you run nslookup against a host name, the tool will show you how the name was resolved, as well as which DNS server was used during the lookup. This tool can be extremely helpful when troubleshooting problems related to legacy DNS records that still exist but that are no longer correct.
To use this tool, just enter the nslookup command, followed by the name of the host you want to resolve. For example:
C:\Users\Sanjay.Kumar>nslookup ask-sanjay.com
Server: vsresolverdns.atl3.dc.sita.aero
Address: 10.213.200.50
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: ask-sanjay.com
Address: 103.247.96.231
C:\Users\Sanjay.Kumar>
2. ping
Ping is probably the simplest of all diagnostic commands. It’s used to verify basic TCP/IP connectivity to a network host. To use it, simply enter the command, followed by the name or IP address of the host you want to test. For example:
Keep in mind that this command will work only if Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) traffic is allowed to pass between the two machines. If at any point a firewall is blocking ICMP traffic, the ping will fail.
C:\Users\Sanjay.Kumar>ping ask-sanjay.com

The tasklist command has numerous option. One is the -m switch, which causes tasklist to display all the DLL modules associated with a task. The other is the -svc switch, which lists the services that support each task. Here’s how they look:
tasklist -m
tasklist -svc
4. taskkill
The taskkill command terminates a task, either by name (which is referred to as the image name) or by process ID. You can follow the taskkill command with -pid (process ID) or image nameand the name or process ID of the task that you want to terminate. Here are two examples of how this command works:
taskkill -pid 4934
taskkill -im iexplore.exe
