I'll assume IF config is a typo
what do you get for IPconfig/all ?
It's no typo. At the prompt I typed ipconfig it comes back with

ipconfig command not found.

When I do ifconfig

it comes back with all information. This is a Red Hat 9 box I'm having the promblem with not Windows. If it was a windows box this wouldn't be an issue.
But it's a redhat box and on a side note I'm rather new to the "linux enviroment". Thank you for the information.

On a side note heres information on ifconfig
