Need help with some commands

[YaKuZa]

What are the commands to check hops? and packet loss? in XP. Thanks.

I assume you mean router hops and not the stuff used to make beer.

To see every router your packets take to get from your machine to another machine, open a cmd prompt and type 'tracert target_name' (no quotes).

You can use ping to measure packet loss, just 'ping target_name' and check out the packets sent and lost.
