Using the WINIPCFG Utility in Windows 95/98/Me

In Microsoft Windows versions 95 through Me, Microsoft has
provided a small utility called WINIPCFG that can be used to troubleshoot
your IP address and connection. The WINIPCFG utility is used mainly to
view, release and renew your IP Address configuration. Windows NT
(including Windows 2000) has a similar utility called IPCONFIG that can
be used to perform similar tasks.
Use the following steps to use the WINIPCFG utility:
§ Click on the Start button and click Run
§ Type "winipcfg" in the Open box.
§ Click OK. The IP Configuration screen will be displayed.
The IP address will be displayed in the IP Address box. If you have
more than one network card, make sure that the network card that
you are using is displayed in the white dropdown box.
Make sure that the Default Gateway is the IP Address of your
Broadband router. If it is not, you will not be able to connect to the
Internet. If you are using DHCP, click the Release and then the
Renew buttons to receive the correct settings. If you manually set
your network settings, make sure that the IP Address of your
Broadband Router is set in the Gateway portion of the TCP/IP
settings in your network settings.
§ Click on "More Info" to display additional IP information.
