"ipconfig" on Windows XP Home not working properly

[Jazzeur]

Hi,

When I invoke the command "ipconfig" from the Start->Run menu, I see
the DOS
screen for only a fraction of a second and then it closes (or
disappears)
immediately.

Anyone knows what is wrong and how to solve the problem?

Thank you,

Start>>Run. Type CMD on the command line and OK. This will open
up the Command Prompt box. At the prompt, type "ipconfig /all"
(less the quote marks) and enter. It will work properly now.

yeah mate, you type 'cmd' in the run field, when that dos window opens
up then type ipconfig /all into that and you can gaze upon dotted
decimal numbers all day long if you should choose to.

Jazzer,

Try it this way: "cmd /k ipconfig" (without the quotes). To exit the DOS
window type "Exit" (Again, without the quotes). Or you can go to the DOS
prompt at Start/Programs/Accessories/Command Prompt. You might also have a
look at
"cmd /k ipconfig /all".

Thank you for the quick response.

Now the question from a curious mind: "Why was I able to invoke
ipconfig previously and it won't work anymore?"

Thank you again,

It is also probable that the ipconfig /all command was written
direction from the Command Prompt window instead of going through
the Start button.
