What is that run command?

I have Cable/DSL, and there used to be a command you could type in the DOS Prompt/Run window, that would
allow you to see your IP address, and also to release that one, and get a new one?

I would ask my provider, but they take too long to do pretty much anything, much less answer a simple question.

Thanks.

ipconfig /all or ipconfig either one should work with windows 95 up

Thanks...

JFYI

ipconfig/all (shows entire set-up for your network IP, DNS, Subnet Mask, etc.)

ipconfig/release (clears all this)

ipconfig/renew (gets you a new IP address, DNS #'s, etc.)
