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.

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.}
