[1stPickPCHelp] Re: IP address question ~ ipconfig

Hello Gentlemen,
in XP you need to go to the Run box and type in "  Cmd  "
this will bring up the command prompt box which will accept many of the old
DOS commands.

type in " ipconfig "
From XP help;
IP address
A 32-bit address used to identify a node on an IP internetwork. Each node on
the IP internetwork must be assigned a unique IP address, which is made up
of the network ID, plus a unique host ID. This address is typically
represented with the decimal value of each octet separated by a period (for
example, 192.168.7.27). In this version of Windows, you can configure the IP
address statically or dynamically through DHCP.

MS-DOS overviewMS-DOS, the acronym for Microsoft Disk Operating System, is
an operating system with a command-line interface used on personal
computers. As with other operating systems such as OS/2, it translates
keyboard input by the user into operations the computer can perform, it also
oversees operations such as disk input and output, video support, keyboard
control, and many internal functions related to program execution and file
maintenance.

You type MS-DOS commands using a command prompt window. To end your MS-DOS
session, type exit in the command prompt window at the blinking cursor.

The MS-DOS mode is a shell in which the MS-DOS environment is emulated in
32-bit systems, such as Windows. MS-DOS-based programs can run with Windows
and might create a program information file (PIF) which appears as a
shortcut on your desktop.

Open Command Prompt. <hyperlink> 
 Notes

To open command prompt, click Start, point to Programs, point to
Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.

***** Bobby, I asked the original question.  Those instructions worked with
my home computer which is running Windows 98 SE.  But I had the same result
as you when I tried it on my work computer, which runs XP.  Must be a
different command or something.
