I don't understand what you are asking.
Using Winsock you can establish TCP/UDP connections to another box. Thats just a network protocol. What commands you send to hardware at the other end is based on what it expects.

There are heaps of threads here.
Thing is PING/TRACERT etc are not using TCP or UDP. You wouldn't want to recreat the work. So the best thing is just redirect those program's output to your app.
Take a look at strongm post at the bottom of thread222-567909 for a link to how to use Pipes to redirect output from normal console apps.
