That is because it is a command line tool and not a Windows application so
it starts a command prompt, runs the command and then closes.
This is the correct behavior.
If you want to see the results
start cmd from the Run item
then type in ipconfig /? to learn about the parameters it takes or
ipconfig /all for a full result immediately.

Open the RUN window.. type CMD and then press <enter>
You should now see the 'command' window.. now try typing ipconfig in there..

You can create a new shortcut, using this in the Create Shortcut location
box:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k %windir%\system32\ipconfig.exe
You can name the shortcut Ipconfig, Internet Protocol Configuration, or
whatever...

Another option might be WNTIPCFG -
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...ntipcfg/1.00.0.1/nt5/en-us/WntIpcfg_setup.exe
It's a Windows app (ie not command line) and although originally for Win2K
it definitely works under XP - I haven't tried it with Vista.

You must run the ipconfig program from a command prompt window.
In the run window type cmd
in the resulting black command window type ipconfig.

Your (top-posted) response makes no sense - I'm talking about the windows
GUI program WNTIPCFG, not the command line IPCONFIG.

Much easier: In Start:Run, type "cmd /k ipconfig" (without the quotes)
The /k tells the command window to stay open -- you can then see the outpout
from ipconfig.
