ipconfig/ping/tracert rank right up there.
Otherwise cd/ls/cat etc

Shutdown /m=<machine_name> /f /t = 0

used that twice to get rid of an annoying cowboy who just take IP's at random

 

[rorz0r]

Lol, I used "shutdown" on my younger brother once, he was playing stuff too loud and I was trying to sleep and I'd already asked him once.

 

[Crowley]

Shutdown /i is also a beaut.

 

[Dean]

taskmgr and ping for sure

 

[lumpyza]

ipconfig /all but now that im on my mac its ifconfig... nslookup, tracrt and shutdown /i
