Shakey...or anybody else for that matter...

Question... I'm using 2000 Pro and want to find my IP address, DHCP server address, as well as primary and secondary DNS.

Besides what is built in, which doesn't show all of this, do you know of any command line tools or even a win32 utility which will show me all network settings?

It's not critical, just more of curiousity. I can find it if I ultimately need to (traceroute can answer some of these), but I want something fully self contained, like on a single dialog.

Know of anything freeware?

Thanks!

A coworker mentioned ipconfig to me. I knew of winipcfg for 95 and 98, but I didn't know of ipconfig for 2000.

Is there anything else out there that anybody knows of?

IPCONFIG is the old NT command for displaying IP configuration info. Since 2000 is based primarily on the old NT model, Ipconfig is what works.

IPCONFIG - returns the ip info for your current live connection.
IPCONFIG /all returns complete IP info including DNS, WINS and DHCP servers, gateway, etc.

I'm sure there must be a host of graphical tools for displying this info available but I've never found the need to go beyond IPCONFIG in the old NT days or now in the 2K environment. :)

Yup. Bogie is correct. Just use the "/all" switch and you can find everything you are after.
