Setting up a static IP address.

seaniesharko · 08-14-2007, 06:34 PM

According to the portforward.com guide to setting up a static ip address, first, i'm supposed to open the command prompt and figure out my current ip settings.

But, when I open the command prompt window, and type "ipconfig/all" I get this error message.

"ipconfig is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

I even get that message when entering "help".

What's wrong with my computer?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The program is likely there but it seems like your PATH variable is screwed up. Check this link out:

This is usually caused by virus' and/or malware so a full system scan might be a good idea too :)
