When I enter "IPCONFG" in the command prompt as directed, I get a message that it is not recognized as an internal or external command, inoperable program or batch file. I am running Windows XP, SP3 Professional
Can you help?
The command is IPCONFIG. Probably, the 'I' got left left out by mistake.

You've managed to catch Leo in a rare error: he mannaged to misspell the command. It's not "IPCONFG", but "IPCONFIG" (a second "I" belongs between the "F" and the "G"). That's why you're getting CMD.EXE's equivalent of a "?SYNTAX ERROR".
Nyah nyah nyah, Leo! Shame on you! :) :) :)
Be careful slinging the raspberries, Glenn P. !
"he mannaged to misspell the command"
contains a misspelling of its own!
("managed" contains but one "n")
:o :) :=)

Posted by: Julian Hicks at November 11, 2008 11:29 AMThanks, everybody, but I already figured it out, which I should have done before firing off my comment. It's nice to know that somebody else is not perfect.
Posted by: Robert Solarski at November 11, 2008 2:27 PMAnother way to find the IP Address is to go to the Internet and type in www.whatismyip.com. This works for only one networkcard. With more than one networkcard I don't know if it would show multiple IP Addresses.
