When I START->RUN->IPCONFIG the dos screen flashes open and immediately
closes.

Can someone offer me some help with this problem?

Yes. You're doing it wrong. Do:

Start>Run>cmd [enter]
This will give you the command prompt "box".
Now do ipconfig /all [enter] (or other desired switches)

That program has no GUI and must be run at the command prompt.

Start > Run: CMD > IPCONFIG
 
If you choose Start -> Run -> CMD. this will open a dos windown that
will stay open until you close it. You can then type the command
IPCONFIG and view the results.

Another method would be to choose Start -> Run -> and type the
following command.

ipconfig /all >> "%userprofile%/desktop/ip_config.txt"

This will create a text file on the desktop with the results.

When you run a command from the Start | Run like that you are telling
Windows to open a command window, run the command, and then immediately
close the window. The results are actually shown, but they don't stay up
long enough for you to read them.

What you want to do is open the command window first (run CMD from the Start
| Run line)., then enter ipconfig in that window. That keeps the window open
until you explicitly close it.
