Unable to run ipconfig/all command

TheGift73 · 10-17-2006, 11:44 AM

Hi all,

This problem has only just started to happen, but i can't seem to figure out how to resolve it.

When i want to know my IP i usually just go Start>Run>ipconfig/all and then the little black box appears in my screen with all the data i require. But for some reason, the black box just flashes up for about half a second and then dissapears? This keeps on happening everytime i try.

Does anyone have any clue as to what has happened, and how to resolve this issue?

I'm not very techi, so i hope that made sense.

Start, Run, CMD

In the command box, type IPCONFIG /ALL

The results will hang around all day.

Ha! My God, talk about mental block!

Really sorry to have even asked such a dumb question. But thankyou though. It now works.

There are no dumb questions, only dumb answers.

The problem was already solved. It was user error. Telling someone to reinstall their OS is a last resort option only. Not very good advice if you ask me.

Another option is to type it all in the run box.

cmd /k ipconfig /all

Obviously, a "drive-by" advisor that doesn't read the threads.
