How do I check my network IP address in Windows XP (and in Windows 2000/NT)?

A. Open a DOS windows in Windows XP (Start, All Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt). Enter at the command prompt enter ipconfig, e.g...



C:\Documents and Settings\Larry F. Byard>ipconfig

Windows IP Configuration

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.123.197

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.123.254

To obtain the syntax for ipconfig, enter ipconfig /?.

C:\Documents and Settings\Larry F. Byard>ipconfig /?

USAGE:

ipconfig [/?
/all
/renew [adapter]
/release [adapter]


/flushdns
/displaydns
/registerdns


/showclassid adapter


/setclassid adapter [classid] ]



where

adapter Connection name

(wildcard characters * and ? allowed, see examples)



Options:

/? Display this help message

/all Display full configuration information.

/release Release the IP address for the specified adapter.

/renew Renew the IP address for the specified adapter.

/flushdns Purges the DNS Resolver cache.

/registerdns Refreshes all DHCP leases and re-registers DNS names

/displaydns Display the contents of the DNS Resolver Cache.

/showclassid Displays all the dhcp class IDs allowed for adapter.

/setclassid Modifies the dhcp class id.



The default is to display only the IP address, subnet mask and

default gateway for each adapter bound to TCP/IP.



For Release and Renew, if no adapter name is specified, then the IP address

leases for all adapters bound to TCP/IP will be released or renewed.



For Setclassid, if no ClassId is specified, then the ClassId is removed.



Examples:

> ipconfig ... Show information.

> ipconfig /all ... Show detailed information

> ipconfig /renew ... renew all adapters

> ipconfig /renew EL* ... renew any connection that has its



name starting with EL

> ipconfig /release *Con* ... release all matching connections, eg. "Local Area Connection 1" or

"Local Area Connection 2"
