Error message: "winipcfg.exe - Ordinal Not Found"

[Lois]

When I try to Run: winipcfg
I get the message:
"winipcfg.exe - Ordinal Not Found"
"The ordinal 1001 could not be located in the dynamic link library
WSOCK32.dll."
How can I fix this?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Winipcfg is a 9x based command, the equivalent for Windows
XP is Ipconfig. You can add the modifier /? to see a list of all
support options. You'll need to invoke this from a Command
Prompt window, so you can view the results.

Go to Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter.
In the Command Prompt window type: IPCONFIG , and hit enter.

There seems to be Win2K/XP compatible version of winipcfg:

http://download.microsoft.com/downl...ntipcfg/1.00.0.1/NT5/EN-US/WntIpcfg_Setup.exe


I haven't tried it, though

Alexander:
Many thanks for the suggestion..
I tried it and it did not work AS DIRECTED [BUT I GOT IT TOO WORK].
I downloaded the program:
WntIpcfg_Setup.exe
DC on it.
It installed it to
C:\Program Files\Resource Kit\WNTIPCFG.EXE
It also installed:
C:\Program Files\Resource Kit\wntipcfg_d.htm
which says:
"To use wntipcfg
At the command prompt, type:
wntipcfg
The resulting screen identifies your IP address and the IP address of your
default gateway.
Note
When you make a PPTP connection, Dial-Up Networking changes your default
gateway to be the IP address of the PPTP server.
Click More info.
The resulting screen identifies your IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway for each of your network interfaces, including the interface for
your network adapter, your Dial-Up Networking interface, and your PPTP
interface."
I clicked on my shortcut to cmd.exe and typed in wntipcfg. The result is
shown below

'wntipcfg' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Instead I clicked on my shortcut to cmd.exe and typed in
cd C:\Program Files\Resource Kit
and then typed in wntipcfg. The result is shown below

C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd C:\Program Files\Resource Kit

C:\Program Files\Resource Kit>wntipcfg

C:\Program Files\Resource Kit>

AND THE USUAL familiar winipcfg dialog box opened.

A much more awkward and clumsy interface --
which in my humble opinion is just as with many of the improvements from W95
to W98 to WXP
-- but this one at least eventually gives the desired results.

To avoid the awkward and clunsy interface I prefer using a shortcut to this
little batch file I named winipcfg.bat and put in c:\windows\system32
______________________________
cd C:\Program Files\Resource Kit
wntipcfg

Thank you. I prefer to first use the old familiar winipcfg dialog box as can
be obtained as I describe in my two responses to Alexander's suggestion.
Specifically:
1-download WntIpcfg_Setup.exe from
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...ntipcfg/1.00.0.1/NT5/EN-US/WntIpcfg_Setup.exe
2-DC on it to install.
3-Make the following batch file [I named it winipcfg.bat]:
____________________________
cd C:\Program Files\Resource Kit
wntipcfg
____________________________
4-Move it to c:\windows\system32
5-Make a shortcut to it and put it where convenient for you [desktop and/or
programs menu]

Please see my response to R. McCarty for my preferred solution.
