Dos errors in win xp

[bidoi]

When I go to Dos command window and type : "ipconfig" command , I receive message : "can't regconize as an internal or external command", so what should I do, Please help me. Thanks

Is this the only command you're having problems with? IPCONFIG is an external command (a standalone executable) and lives in c:\windows\system32. Try doing a search and see if you can find it. The only other thing would be to check your path.

Good luck,

I have had this same problem. For some reason I found I needed to type in the full path - as Sidewinder was indicating where it lives.

c:\windows\system32\ipconfig
I can't recall whether I had to put .exe behind it or not - try both ways.

The reason this has to be done eludes me - maybe environment path statements? Some brighter person than me can probably tell you that part.

Yep c:\windows\system32 should be in your path or its alias %SystemRoot%\system32
