hello dh,
gotta problem that i personally have never seen before.i did a search and found that this has happened to alot of people but i could not find a fix.i booted and no connection but my router status/modem status was ok,so i went to release and renew from tunexp 1.5 final and this message appears.then i tried the command line and the same message appears.i checked windows root sys32 and my ipconfig.exe app is there.once i cycled my modem i had my coonection back and everything seems stable and fast but this has me worried.please help,thx

I had a similar problem. There is probably a fault with the Path.
If you go to Start - Run - cmd and type "cd\" at the prompt, you
should get C:\> then type CD windows , and then CD system32.
Then try your ipconfig again.

I fixed mine by going to start - settings - control panel - system -
advanced- envronmental variables - select "path" under "system
variables" and click "edit". In the "variable value box" edit or
change it to read
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\Sy stem32\wbem

Mine had a lot of stuff after "wbem" which I deleted, which I'm not
sure how important it was, but I have not seen any problem so far.

There is some reference to this in this Microsoft article:

Did you come across something like this? I'm not sure if it helps, but i hope it does, ill keep looking...

hello evo,looked at the knowledge base artical from ms and my exact problem was not listed.but i decided to then look to see if there was a path defined for my environment variables,like i know what that means,but there was no path present.wonder what happened to that.LOL.so i pasted in the path that was listed in the artical and

wala

, it was fixed.thx for finding that,guess i need to look through ms stuff seeing how im running windows.later

hey evo,i think there is some other issue also.after i got my connection back up and running i was going to play coduo mp and my pings have doubled.i have reset the modem,cycled the modem,rebuilt my tcip settings and also released and renewed within windows ipconfig.nothing seems to fix it.my connection is 3360kbits down and 864kbits up.that is almost t2 range and im getting 170+ms ping on servers i was getting 30ms to 70ms.ive heard that verizon has alot of packet loss but when i talked to them they say that my down/up speed is within spec so there is nothing they can do.well just lastnight it was fine.im freaking upset because i cant play any online games with that type of ping.thx for helping me get the ipconfig working.later
