Still *looks* like a DOS prompt, so I call it that too, often enough.
The day it says CMD> instead of C:\>, I'll call it a command prompt.
Heck - I don't know if it's different in Win 7, but even the icon for cmd.exe is...a freaking DOS prompt.

Yeah, it's pretty common for us old timers to refer to the Command Prompt
in the new OS's as a DOS Prompt.

Sometimes I slip and call it that too.

In addition to what Neil said, DOS doesn't ship with windows anymore, and
almost nothing with computers "just works".

It mostly has to do with there being a valid DNS/gateway service on the
subnet where your equipment resides. There has to be something to
translate the hostname into an actual IP address. If you're just
plugging
a bunch of gear into a switch, there may be nothing to resolve a
hostname
for you.
What OS are you running?

Why can't I just type ping (hostname) in my dos prompt and have it
respond? How come sometimes toolbox lets me connect by hostname and
other
times not so much? Why do I get a pop up every time I open toolbox
saying
it adjusted some settings to let me connect by hostname? With
computers it
just works, why not with Crestrons?
