If you want a built in solution, use
telnet www.superuser.com 80
and type in raw HTTP commands.
If you need a browser, then maybe you can use cygwin and a text mode browser like lynx (there's a site dedicated to a windows port).
If you need a real DOS Browser (16-Bit), there may be some as well, haven't looked.

There are actually a bunch of text-mode web-browsers, these are my top three :)

Lynx (install):

w3m (install):
- w3m Manual
Wikipedia has a List of more text-based web-browsers, not all of which are available in Ubuntu.
To my surprise it exists; I installed it and it works!
sudo apt-get install w3m w3m-img
- to open a webpage simply type in a terminal window:
w3m <url_of_the_webpage> - to open a new page: type Shift-U
- to go back one page: Shift-B
- open a new tab: Shift-T
W3M can handle Gmail(!)
If you use for example XTerm (not Gnome Terminal), W3M is even capable of showing images!
For more information see “How to Browse From the Linux Terminal With W3M”.
I really want to search the internet from the command line, similarly without having to wait for it to load. I am currently Googling things in Lynx, and then using Lynx's "print" feature to save those webpages as text files in my filesystem. However, I would like to be able to simply automate this process, again so that it just happens in the background and I don't have to wait for it. So basically, I would like to call a command from the command line which automates that exact set of steps in Lynx, or achieves the same thing by a different way: Googling a search phrase, choosing the top 5 links returned, and printing them from Lynx (so that the content is readable, not all the source code of what's returned by tools like wget) to a certain folder. So the question is: is there any better tool for the job? Which one? Or, is it possible to automate this in the background, either with Lynx-specific commands or some general automation tool external to Lynx? Which one?
rasdial "connection name"
or in your case:
rasdial "Bita"
Copy the text below into a text file and save it as a *.bat file Change connect name if needed.......
@ECHO OFF
ping 8.8.8.8 | find "unreachable"
if errorlevel 1 goto :eof
netsh wlan connect name="Bita"
pause
@magicandre1981 has part of the answer,maybe a mod can merge my answer into his....
Windows
explorer "https://google.com"
Which will launch your default browser and navigate to that site.
As @RiverHeart pointed out if your URL has special characters like ? you can escape the URL like so in Windows 10+
explorer "`"https://www.google.com/search?q=hello+there"`"
MacOS
open "https://google.com"
To open a URL with the default browser, you can execute:
rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler https://www.google.com
I had issues with URL parameters with the other solutions. However, this one seemed to work correctly.
Hi, DAVID0929. My name is Ivan, and I am an Independent Assessor. I'd be more than happy to assist you. I'm so sorry that you are experiencing this issue. Don't worry, I'll do everything I can to help you.
Make sure you are running CMD as administrator.
- Press the Windows key, type "cmd", right-click on "Command Prompt" and select "Run as administrator".
- Type the following command and press Enter:
netsh interface set interface "Ethernet" enabled
Replace "Ethernet" with the actual name of your network adapter (e.g. "Wi-Fi", "Local Area Connection")
- Restart your computer and check if your Internet connection is restored
If you have a Windows installation DVD or USB, you can boot from it and try to repair the system or enable network adapters from there.
- Restart your computer and hold down the Shift key to enter the Advanced Boot Options menu. Select "Troubleshoot" -> "Advanced Options" -> "Command Prompt".
- In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter:
runas /user:Administrator cmd
You will likely be prompted for the Administrator password. Enter it and press Enter.
- If successful, a new Command Prompt window should open with Administrator privileges.
