the ipconfig will work on nt based os's, but you have to go into your command prompt to do it, otherwise it will run and you will briefly see a black pop up. Its trickier to use than the gui based winipconfig 98 had



I think the answr your looking for is: ipconfig

yes i had a black dos box open for a second when i ran ipconfig. thanks
so unfortunatly there's no widows program only the dos one.
any ida where i can look up at what time my ip address will change as it is changed every 18hr by my server.

In the run box, type cmd.
Then type ipconfig at the command prompt.

Thanks for that.
xp is good in lots of ways but i'm finding lots of things that arn't compatible or more awkward to use.

There's a winipcfg for XP too but you have to download it from MS. I saw the link today in some XP tips&tricks website but I don't remember the site. Search MS and you shall find it, maybe...

WINIPCFG for XP
Added 4/1/02

If you like the graphic IP configuration program that comes with Windows98,
you can download a similar one for WindowsXP or Windows2000 from Microsoft at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techi.../wntipcfg-o.asp (http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/wntipcfg-o.asp)

The actual file is at:
WntIpcfg_setup.exe (http://download.microsoft.com/download/win2000platform/wntipcfg/1.00.0.1/nt5/en-us/WntIpcfg_setup.exe)

Actually winipcfg uses ipconfig .. ipconfig is the main core program that is used in windows for details about ip settings - to get more use of ya ip you may use the ipconfig command with a switch :
eg: ipconfig /all ----> displays all ya ip configuration details including ya dns properties bah bah bah
In nix system its ifconfig

O yah btw erm just fyi there is no dos in NT based windows it only have command prompt [win nt3.0 , win nt 4.0 , w2k , win xp]
dos is applicable to win 9x and ME
-----------> bit set difference - maxchar difference

It emulates DOS, therefore we call it DOS.
