In the run box I enter cmd and hit enter. It got me to the command promt and I typed in ipconfig/all and hit enter. It displayed Windows IP Configuation but nothing else except another C prompt. Windows XP version 5.1.2600 What next?
That should return an IP address (verified and it does) Remember there is a space between ipconfig" " /all. You really dont even need the /all switch, either way your doing it right. Just out of curiosity why do you need to know your IP Addres.
You network connection is disabled. Go into the control panel -> network connections -> right click on your network connection and chose enable.
Still no luck> I tryed a space after ipconfig /all All it says is Windows IP configuration To answer your question why I need the IP address is to put into my router. I'm adding this laptop. Any other possibilities to get the address?
You network connection is disabled. Go into the control panel -> network connections -> right click on your network connection and chose enable.
If you have to i would just give the computer a static IP address (One that you set and not one that you comp gets from the router see DHCP).
If you are getting nothing from Iipconfig then either network isn't enabled or you haven't got the necessary network drivers installed. You need to sort that out first. Stuart
Wanamingo setting a static ip does not address the issue at hand. You would only set a static ip if troubleshooting dhcp issues to separate getting a ip vs connectivity.
