Hi, Answering the only important question for me personally. I respect of your interest in security, but my issue is improving my connection, and I cannot imagine the value for me personally in checking other devices. as I physically cannot use windows screen readers or speech synthesizers due to my previously shared experiencing of auditory processing, all of my machines are custom built to run my speech synthesizer, which is hardware, the Reading edge, and my other tools. I use pure ms. dos, a package constructed from ms. dos 7.1, which existed under windows 98 at the time, but had updated utilities written for the package. there is no edition of windows on my machine. One of the nice things about freedos though is how that on going work is sparking innovation and creativity. For example the ssh package I use, sshdos, was updated just in the past few months to use updated dh key processes, blending putty with other more recently developed solutions. If you search for sshdos, you will find the GitHub for the project. I respect the creative nature of this list, but my computers are tools, and my main interest is using those tools with the body I have involving the most time efficient solution I need for the job.

I'm 99% sure that are on your Landlord's LAN, so you can see each other's devices.
How can you test for this from MSDOS? I have no idea.
Try pinging the broadcast address in your net. Not all devices present might respond but you will get a guess if something unexpected is on the lan. The other way would be to ping individually all possible addresses in your subnet.
Never used LAN-over-powerline devices but AFAIK they should have a pairing mechanism and communication should be encrypted.
I don't even know how MSDOS does networking in the present day. The old-school command-line tool is nmap. Maybe it exists in your DOS.
Are you actually running MSDOS or are you running something else? Perhaps one of these:
- FreeDOS - a CLI (cmd.exe, for example) under Windows - a DOS box under Linux
I'll await an answer rather than speculating.
