How can I find out what ip address has been assigned to a
work station running Windows 2000 or Windows XP? On old
windows 98 I could always run winipconfig. I tried to run
ipconfig on the W2K machine and it flashes a window up for
a milli-second and then it disappears.

Please help. Thanks!
 
- Start a Command Prompt
- Run ipconfig.exe /all

If you are uncomfortable with Command Prompts then
you can do this:

- Click Start / Run
- Type ipconfig.exe /all & pause

If you need something less verbose you can leave off the '/all' you can
also use nslookup:
Start -> Run -> "nslookup"

It will give you the ip address of your default server and then a prompt
waiting for you to enter the name of any computer for which you would like
the ip address. So you could do a
'net view' command first to get a list of all logged in workstations and
then use 'nslookup' to retrieve the ip addresses for as many workstations as
you need without having to leave your desk.

Here is a sample of what it would look like if you run cmd first:


C:\>nslookup
Default Server: ourserver.here.com
Address: 192.168.45.6

Server: ourserver.here.com
Address: 192.168.45.6

Name: myworkstation.here.com
Address: 192.168.45.41
ibm.com
Click to expand...
Server: ourserver.here.com
Address: 192.168.45.6

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: ibm.com
Addresses: 129.42.18.99, 129.42.19.99, 129.42.16.99, 129.42.17.99
exit

type cmd.exe in the run box, this will bring up the command box you were
expecting.....you can then enter your commands and the box stays up (I had

Easier: Click Start/Run and type CMD /K IPCONFIG /ALL. The window will be
created and stay open after IPCONFIG runs. Also, the entire sequence is
preserved in the drop-down list within Start/Run for future use.
