ipconfig not recognizable in win2000pro

[Lesa]

When I try to run ipconfig at a ms-dos prompt, I receive
the following error message:

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

I can use ipconfig on my other win2000 pro pc so I know it
can be done.

Does anyone know how to get my win2000 pro pc to recognize
ipconfig again?

Thanks,
Lesa

Hello Lesa,
ipconfig.exe should be located at:

%systemroot%\system32\ipconfig

if you enter this and it runs there might be a problem with the path.
If it doesn't run the ipconfig.exe is possibly absent.

Check the path if the location of your systemroot is included.

echo %systemroot%

In a domain I have noticed some irregularities if you
have a home folder other than the traditional local path
mapped to the computer in question. If you enter command
prompt and notice that you are sitting under Z:\(or any
drive letter other than C) then IPCONFIG will only work
with SOME of its switches. Type C:, hit enter, and then
try again.
