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.
