IPCONFIG closes immediately

Cheverge · 05-17-2009, 05:04 PM

I am running into about the same problem, I am trying to network a workgroup for my pc which is wired to my modem and runs vista ultimate, and my laptop wirelessly which runs xp pro. When you Ping ip address, should the window stay up, same with ipconfig /all? They open command propmt windows for a second then close?

Right click in the window and select "Select All " from the list then hit enter twice.

The window only opens for a split second, not enough time to click and anything?

I have a Belkin router, it works fine I have my laptop run wirelessly and my pc wired to the router. I am unable to set up a home network fwith them. I tried to ping and both ping and ipconfig /all windows close immediately.

Start> Run type in "CMD" without the quotes the window should stay open so you can type IPconfig /all into it.
