Hi Lloyd:

Possibly the first commanding of an in-flight spacecraft operating as a 
node on the Internet (with its own IP address) was done over six years ago 
(January 1996) from Eric Travis's bedroom in Rockville, MD., to STRV-1b in 
geostationary transfer orbit, using SCPS:

Since then the SCPS protocol suite http://www.scps.org has been finished 
and is being commercially deployed, e.g.:
