Windows-specific
ipconfig The ipconfig (for IP configuration) command is a command-line utility available on
Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 hosts. It is used to report IP configuration
information for the host. It shows information for all Ethernet adapters in the host.
Tip For Windows 95/98 hosts, the winipconfig (Windows IP Configuration)
program provides similar information. It is also a command-line utility.
Typical syntax for the IPConfig command for a Windows-based host is:
ipconfig
or
ipconfig /all
In addition, for Windows 2000 hosts, the following syntax can also be used to display

host has used recently.
ipconfig /displaydns
