I have windows XP professional and when I run Ipconfig I
have this error.

Windows IP Configuration
An internal error occurred: The system cannot find the
file specified.
Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services for
further help.
Additional information: Unable to query host name.

I've already tried to reset tcpip using netsh, remove the
winsoc and winsoc32 key from the registry but I still have
the same error.
Thanks for any help.

I believe all ipconfig does is display your IP addresses.

That's what IPCP|ONFIG should do but I have these weird
error.
If I use tracert 127.0.0.1 and ping 127.0.0.1, it's
working fine.

If you have deleted the Winsock keys from the registry then you will need to
rebuild the catalog.

1. Backup and delete the following registry keys

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2

2. Reboot

3. Go to the network connections folder, right click the icon for your
network connection, and select properties.

4. Click install, choose "protocol", and click "add..."

5. Click "Have Disk...", enter "\windows\inf", click OK

6. Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click OK

7. When the process in complete, reboot
 
It fixes the internet connection but not the Ipconfig
error.
Anyway that's all I need. Thanks

IPCONFIG can actually do much more than just show your IP
address(es). Type "ipconfig /?" for a list of the other
options it has.
