The first three lines should be

C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;

You can set this in Control Panel \ System \ Advanced System Settings \ Environment Variables.

Make sure you close and restart the command window after you update your system path.

If you haven't, you'll likely want to "turn on" the "Telnet Client" feture, too. It's off by default.
