I'm on Windows and trying to connect to Ethereum Testnet via rinkeby.
I downloaded geth 1.8.2 and Ethereum Wallet 0.9.3
I gave 1st command as:
geth –rinkeby –fast –cache=1024
NOTE: after above command, I get the url
on cmd as:
url=\\\\.\\pipe\\geth.ipc
And 2nd command in another command prompt as:
geth –datadir=./rinkeby attach
The same commands were working earlier.
I uninstalled both geth and Ethereum wallet and installed latest versions. I tried the commands on the earlier versions also where they were working but now they are not.
I also tried connecting to Private net just now, but got the error message on 2nd command prompt as:
Unable to attach to remote geth: no known transport for URL scheme "c"
Thanks in advance!

I am sure about testnetwork. But this below solution is easy go for private network. And it's working fine.
While running the geth node itself, specify the ipcpath. It will open the geth node, ipc and javascript console for you in single window. Try the below command.
