You need to type:

cmd /k ipconfig

in the Run dialog box or the command prompt windows will close when the task
is finish when you only type:

ipconfig

in the Run dialog box.

It's not a problem, but your misunderstanding of what you are doing. =)

You can do this a few ways - I will describe two.

1) Open a Command Prompt and THEN enter your commands. The window will stay
open because it was opened by a command other than the one you are running.

- Start --> Run
- CMD
- OK
- ipconfig /all
- ENTER

2) Open the command prompt and tell it to stay open after running the
command.

- Start --> Run
- CMD /K ipconfig /all
- OK

The second is the "fastest" and could even be made into a batch script you
could double click on.

Better way to do it, is go to Start menu... then Programs... Accessories... then click
Command Prompt. Then type in your command.

how?

(in reference to a batch script)

it works

A batch script for this would be fairly simple to make.

Open notepad.. (start --> run --> notepad --> OK.)
In notepad, include the following line:

cmd /k ipconfig /all

After typing that, click on "File" and select "Save As". Choose your
"Desktop" from the left side menu, change the "Save As Type" to "all files"
and then type the following in for the "file name":

IPInfo.cmd

Then - click on File --> Exit.

Look on your desktop and find the file.. Double-click on it and it should
run.
