Does win2k have "winipcfg" or something similar?

Just curious if win2k has an app like the "winipcfg" in win98se? If yes where is it? If no, whats the easiest way to find out IP address and other things that winipcfg shows in win98se?

Thanks

M$ removed the graphical interface in win2k....

It can all be accessed via the command prompt (Start.... Run...CMD)

then type ipconfig /?

It will give you all the options...

Most common is just ipconfig or with the /all command.

open a cli and type:

ipconfig

this will show you your ip, and can do various tasks too (like renew/release the ip from dhcp etc)

All the tcp/ip utilities are accessed through the cli.There is the winipcfg gui interface in9x/me. NT/2k uses ipconfig in the cli.
If you plan to use ipconfig alot,put a cmd.exe shortcut on the desktop or quick launch bar.
