winipcfg - where did it Go ??
- it has been replaced by ipconfig -
You can get the same info that you used to get using winipcfg (which is the IP addresses of your Machine) by using the XP version, ipconfig. It is a DOS-based command line application that gives you both Ethernet and PPP adapter addresses). To use it, start a DOS box - type Run . . .command (Win95, 98, ME) or Run . . . cmd (WinXP) and then type in: ipconfigTo quickly list all IP addresses (for LAN adapters and Internet connections) :
Start/Run . . . cmd /k ipconfig /all
Alternatively, you can go to Control Panel\Network Connections . . . and then double-click either the Dial-up or the LAN connection and click "Details" to see your IP
addresses. Note that your Lan IP Address (Ethernet Adapter) is static and is set by you and this differs from your dial-up IP address (PPP adapter) is dynamic and assigned by your ISP with each dial-up session.
