Winipcfg in WinXP?

[jimbo]

In Win98, there is a utility named winipcfg that has useful
information and function regarding IP addresses, etc. Winipcfg
apparently doesn't exist in WinXP. What is the equivalent function in
WinXP?

That is part of what Win98 will do, but how or where can I "release"
and "renew" the IP address?

Start/Run type cmd

While at the C:\ prompt type: ipconfig /all to see all relevant
information.

To release DHCP lease: ipconfig /release
To renew DHCP lease: ipconfig /renew
To purge DNS cache: ipconfig /flushdns
To renew DNS cache: ipconfig /registerdns

Hope this helps.

The GUI equivalent command is "wntipcfg" but it is not installed by
default. To get instructions on how to install it, see:

Despite the claims on this page, "wntipcfg" does not run on WinXP Home
Edition.

It works perfectly on my WinXP Home laptop.

It works perfectly on my WinXP Home laptop.

I don't see the post claiming that wntipcfg does not run on WinXP
Home, but it works just fine om my WinXP Home. Many thanks, jimbo
