Windows IP Configuration Problem with Windows XP Professional
Shane:
Ok, in the cmd.exe window type in
ipconfig /?
And hit enter. It shoudl list the things ipconfig supports. I know it supports /all, I use that myself, but I am curious what yours will report.
I have attached a screen of what it says on my XP system in vmware.
Also lets do a search for any ipconfig file on the system to make sure you dont have a duplicate that might be getting in the way. I attached a screen shot of how I want you to do the search.
I also attached the two ipconfig files from my system32 folder. Try replacing yours with these and see if it helps :-)

Shane,
I did download both files with one jpg and one zip but with the zip file show me nothing inside the zip file. Anyway I did try to type " ipcopnfig /? in command prompt and show me the list exactly like yours but can't install the ipconfig.exe because nothing inside the zip file. Yu will have to resend this again.

Make sure the zip file actually downloaded, should be 28.75 kB in size. I just checked and the files are in there.
Use 7-zip to extract it if you need to.
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
as for the /? command, so it shows the /all command in there but when you use it, it comes up as unsupported. Lets see if the 2 files i gave you helps.

Shane,
Thank you for the link to download 7-zip and it's working to extract. Then I put both files inside the folder of system32 in Windows and try again. With ipconfig /all still the same as before. I don't know what block this exe file from opening up in command prompt and still the same as before with the message below:
Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1.26009
(c) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\ Documents and Settings\John P. Mackay>ipconfig/all
Windows IP Configuration
An internal error occurred: The request is not supported.
Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services for further help.
Additional information: Unable to query host name.
The only way that I can think of is to reinstall the operating system but the problem is that Microsoft will not accept to activate the program with the serial numbers for my desktop?
Will wait to hear what is next with this?
Smile,
John
Shane:
You are putting a space after ipconfig correct?
ipconfig /all not ipconfig/all
Also did you ever do the search on the whole system for any other ipconfig files?
