In news:779F1EDB-DA7C-41E9-9F53-01D71968E47F@microsoft.com,
Jacob <Jacob@discussions.microsoft.com> did some thinking and came up with
these words:

What version of Windows are you using? If it is in the Win9x series - try
WINIPCFG /all

Yes, Tom, "ipconfig /all" where "/all" is an option gives detailed
information, but leaving the "/all" off, should at least give the OP his/her
DNS suffix, IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway. So, evidently
something is amiss - I would think possible the path is missing.

OP - at the command prompt, try "%WINDIR%/system32/ipconfig" (without
quotes) - if this works, it sounds as if your PATH environment variable is
messed up - a virus, malware, spyware, etc could have messed with it.

To check the PATH, type at the command prompt "echo %PATH%" (again without
quotes). You should make sure you have at least the following within the
paths listed:
C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;

If not, right click on My Computer, select properties, select advanced tab,
click Environment Variables button, go to the bottom group, and scroll to
you find Path, highlight it, select Edit button, and make sure it has:
%SYSTEMROOT%;%SYSTEMROOT%\system32

If not, add it, reboot and command line programs should now work properly.
