Quick/Easy Win2k IP ?

[Dooling37]

Could someone just let me know what the Win2k equivalent of the winipcfg command is to release/renew IP addresses?

I have a dual boot with Me right now, and for some reason I can connect to the network in Me, but not 2k...? I originally couldn't connect in Me either, but release/renew took care of that.

Thanks alot for your help...

start, run, cmd, then ipconfig

Or

start, run, cmd, ipconfig /all

Thanks for the help so far. I went into the cmd and did ipconfig /all, which listed all the information. However, I'm still unable to connect to anything in Win2k. I don't understand how one machine w/ 1 IP address can connect in Me, but not Win2k...???

Any ideas?
I'm going to sleep for the night, now, but any suggestions are greatly appreciated...
Thank you,
Bob

Try ipconfig /release

then ipconfig /renew

That should do the trick

Is your dialup configured correctly, or if it's DSL/Cable is your nic setup for networking? Firewall?

Good luck

Ok, this is getting really frustrating.
I'm on a LAN connection, and my NIC is setup properly, b/c everything works fine in Me. However, for some reason that is $#@* completely beyond me, I can't connect in 2k.

I've released, and renewed my IP address with no luck.
I thought about switching my NIC to another slot just in case that would do anything (??), but then realized it's an ISA, and I only have 1 slot. Could the fact that it's ISA have anything at all to do with this?

Any ideas/suggestions greatly appreciated once again...

FRUSTRATED

Is the card properly installed in 2K with latest drivers available? Is it on the Hardware Compatibility List? Many legacy (in your case, read ISA) cards aren't supported anyways...

Try pinging the loopback address.

At a command prompt type:

ping 127.0.0.1

See if you can get a response back from that. If you can ping the loopback, that proves that TCP/IP is working to an extent.

When you did the ip release/renew, did it obtain a ip? Try pinging someone elses ip, or a web site address, and if you can, have someone ping you.

My apologies to everyone for wasting space and your efforts here.

ZoneAlarm was preventing the connection in 2k. It's not running on Me. I'm a moron.

Thanks for all of your help, though.
