QUICK Q: How to find your own IP address using DOS promt in win98se??

You can also try the following command: "ipconfig /all" ... if you have more than one adapter installed i suggest using the following.. "ipconfig /all | more"

~inode
 
You can try:

"C:\>ping localhost
Pinging blerg.something.ca [127.0.0.1] with 32 bytes of data:"

127.0.0.1 is not your IP (it's a loopback network address) however if you then ping the name it came up with:

"C:\>ping blerg.something.ca
Pinging blerg.something.ca [206.22.4.167] with 32 bytes of data:"

You will get your IP address ie: 206.22.4.167 .

Viper GTS, unless you got some funky thing making the "ipconfig" work on 9x systems, it doesn't work. Pull out a 9x machine and give it a shot. I've already tried it a looong time ago. 😉
 
OK guys, if I'm wrong I'm wrong. I've NEVER had ipconfig work on ANY 9x machine, so please, let me know what you are doing. It ain't too hard, I just open a command prompt and type "ipconfig /all" and BAM, bad command or file name. Are any of you dual booting an NT based OS with a 9x OS when ipconfig works on your system?
 
I went & tried it again with the /all switch, & it definitely works fine. Windows version is "4.10.2222 A," whatever that makes it.

Make sure your path statement includes the c:\windows directory, since that's where the ipconfig executable is stored.

jack

you must have a problem w/ ur os. mb ur missing files.

it has always worked for me.

I'm sitting on an ME machine right now. ipconfig works.

i have me and 98 at home, ipconfig works on both machines at home.

your probably trying to execute from the wrong directory. 🙂
 
OK guys, I looked for ipconfig.exe and it is nowhere to be found on my machine (98SE) or the machines at work (95 version 4.00.950 B). I've also mistakenly told another guy running 98SE to run ipconfig on his machine and it didn't work either. I haven't tried it on Me but I've never had ipconfig work on any 9x machine (I don't think they come standard with that exe). Did you guys copy that file over to your 9x machines? Like I said, I've never tried it on ME, so MS might have included it with their latest 9x OS.
 
Windows 95/98/98se uses-> "winipcfg.exe"

NT/2000 uses-> &quot;ipconfig.exe&quot; <--also works in a DOS session inside Win98se.

They both do the same thing, just different names for different OS's.
 
I did not copy it over. It may not be included in the standard install, however, since I never run the default install.

i tried ipconfig /all in my winME &amp; Win98SE Partition
and it worked.

try it out
run>command>ipconfig /all
or
click MS-DOS Prompt on the bar thingie
assuming you're usin Win 9x

on linux you could try &quot;netcfg&quot; on the terminal
