Why would you want to use the command prompt for this? Simply navigate into:

Quote
Windows    %APPDATA%\Bitcoin\   C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\

Create a file called bitcoin.conf and write the following inside "addnode=10.0.0.2:8333".[1]

Basically all altcoins have their own .conf file, usually something like <coin>.conf. They all basically cloned most of Bitcoin's conf stuff and commands, so you can use addnode there as well.
