Problem with IPCONFIG

[Simon]

I'm trying to run ipconfig, the problem i get is that the DOS prompt flashes
on my screen for a brief secound then disappears. How do i get it to stay so
that i can read what it says?

Run the command prompt box (on Start menu somewhere, probably on
Accessories). Once that program running, from within it run ipconfig.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Hi, Simon -

Run it from within a command prompt window. Running it
from a shortcut or from the "Run" box won't keep the
window open long enough for you to read what's in
there ;-)

Hope this helps -

Thanx guys that worked from under Accessories but I'm sure that I have been
able to run ipconfig from the Run command in the past...never mind.
Thanx again

In Win 98 there was a windows version ... that may be what you recall.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

You're probably thinking winipcfg.exe, Rob. That isn't available in XP, however there is Wntipcfg.exe that is part of the Windows 2000 resource kit and can be used on Windows XP. It is very similar to winipcfg.exe if you want to use a GUI version.

For more details, see the following link.

If you're using windows, click on Start, Programs,
Accessories, Command Prompt, then type in your ipconfig.
Good Luck.

This command will open a window, run ipconfig, and keep the window
open so you can read the output:

cmd /k ipconfig

Thanks Steve, I knew there was a command but I couldn't remember it.

Dude, that's not a problem w/ ipconfig. First open the command prompt by typing cmd in the run command of the start menu. Then type ipconfig. Et Voila.
