ipconfig error

[John Mitchell]

When I go to start>>run>>cmd>>ipconfig I get the following
message:

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

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I need to do
to get ipconfig.exe to execute?
Thanks

Go to Start > Run and type cmd this will bring up a command prompt.

From the command prompt type:

CD /d %WinDir% - This will change to your Windows Directory

Dir /s IPConfig.exe - This will search the tree for
IPConfig.exe

This file should actually be in your %WinDir%\System32 directory.
Additionally you should have this directory in your PATH environment
variable.

You can check the path by typing Set at the command prompt.

If the file is missing, you should be able to extract it from your
distribution media.
