Try this, START/RUN "CMD" to open a command line window.
Then type ipconfig /? to see all the ipconfig commands and
switches..

I said I did that already. There is no IPCONFIG. "COMMAND NOT FOUND" is what
I got. This may happen if you are logged in as regular user but I am logged
in as admin and still same massage.

GO to this site and at the bottom of the list, download "Wntipcfg.exe"
I has other files in the program. only necessary to click on the .exe file
to run, not in the start/run button.
