ipconfig problem

[Guest]

In trying to run ipconfig, the command line window does not stay on long enough to read the data.

In trying to run ipconfig, the command line window does not stay on long enough to read the data.

You do not run ipconfig from start > run.

Do this. Open a command window this way, Start > Run > and type in "cmd"
without the quotes. This opens a command window. Then in the command window
type "ipconfig /all" without the quotes.

You've gotta open a DOS window first, then run ipconfig.

Go to Start > Run > and type "cmd" (no quotes)

In the DOS box that appears, type "ipconfig" at the
command line.

If you type CMD /K before any command in the run dialog box, it force the
window to stay open.

window to stay open.

CMD /K IPCONFIG/ALL spawns a CMD box with a window that won't
neatly show all of the data that IPCONFIG/ALL spews forth; here's
a better version:

CMD /K IPCONFIG/ALL | FIND/V "Description" | FIND "."

You can cut'n'paste that command into your Run dialog box.

{I wish there was a switch, like CMD /BigBox, that would spawn a
CMD window big enough to display ~25 lines of ~120 characters.}
