winipcfg

[praveendasika]

i have win xp os.,when i type "winipcfg"in run command it is showing that there is an error in some .dll file and cannot be activated what to do?

[Shrekkie]

that's cause winipcfg is used in win95 and win NT, and has changed to ipconfig later

If you use win xp try "ipconfig" and "ipconfig/all" typed in a comd prompt.

Try pulling up a command prompt and running "ipconfig". This is the ip info tool for NT based systems, so I figure that is probably what works on XP on as well.
Use "ipconfig /all" to see all the ip info.
Good luck!

Here are the other switches and syntax:

The syntax for Ipconfig.exe is:
ipconfig [/? | /all | /release [adapter] | /renew [adapter] | /flushdns | /registerdns]

Parameter Description
/? Display this help message
/all Display full configuration information
/release Release the IP address for the specified adapter
/renew Renew the IP address for the specified adapter
/flushdns Purge the DNS resolver cache
/registerdns Refresh all DHCP leases and re-register DNS names
/displaydns Display the contents of the DNS resolver cache

You can find this at this link: Options for IPCONFIG

i see some missing tony ..so here are some more switches ....

/all Display full configuration information.
/release Release the IP address for the specified adapter.
/renew Renew the IP address for the specified adapter.
/flushdns Purges the DNS Resolver cache.
/registerdns Refreshes all DHCP leases and re-registers DNS names
/displaydns Display the contents of the DNS Resolver Cache.
/showclassid Displays all the dhcp class IDs allowed for adapter.
/setclassid Modifies the dhcp class id.

The default is to display only the IP address, subnet mask and
default gateway for each adapter bound to TCP/IP.

For Release and Renew, if no adapter name is specified, then the IP address
leases for all adapters bound to TCP/IP will be released or renewed.

For Setclassid, if no ClassId is specified, then the ClassId is removed.

Examples:
> ipconfig ... Show information.
> ipconfig /all ... Show detailed information
> ipconfig /renew ... renew all adapters
> ipconfig /renew EL* ... renew any connection that has its
name starting with EL
> ipconfig /release *Con* ... release all matching connections,
eg. "Local Area Connection 1" or
"Local Area Connection 2"
