I know this is XP Pro group, but i cannot find XP home. Is there a way to
release IP address in XP home. If ypu try IPCONFIG it will say "COMMAND NOT
FOUND"?? What is going on? Where is IPONFIG?
 
Try this, START/RUN "CMD" to open a command line window.
Then type ipconfig /? to see all the ipconfig commands and
switches..

This group is for Windows XP, both Pro and Home.

ipconfig.exe should exist on XP Home.
It should be in these two folders >>>
C:\WINDOWS\system32
and
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache

There may be domething wrong with Environment Variables.

Open a command prompt...
Start | Run | Type: cmd | OK |
When the command window opens, type:

path

Hit the Enter key.

You should see these and maybe more...

PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem

Both of these commands should work.

IPCONFIG /release

IPCONFIG /renew
 
I said I did that already. There is no IPCONFIG. "COMMAND NOT FOUND" is what
I got. This may happen if you are logged in as regular user but I am logged
in as admin and still same massage.

Click to expand...

It's possible that the command has been deleted from your system.

Yes, ipconfig is the command to release IP addresses, with the /release
switch. It should probably be in the windows\system32 directory.

Do a search for ipconfig.* and see what you get.

-pk
 
GO to this site and at the bottom of the list, download "Wntipcfg.exe"
I has other files in the program. only necessary to click on the .exe file
to run, not in the start/run button.
 
Start Run CMD, then type ipconfig /? to see a list of the
commands.
