ipconfig "not recognized as an internal or external com

[Anne22747]

HI, At the Command Prompt, when I enter ipconfig, I get "'ipconfig' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!

I'm attaching a copy of ipconfig.exe in a compressed folder. You can verify the file by looking at the version tab in it's properties. Extract the folder, and copy ipconfig.exe to the %SystemRoot%\System32 (most likely C:\WINDOWS\System32).

Thank you!

I had this happen to an older system I used to use. I think it was caused by some kind of virus. So once you reinstall it, make sure you check your computer over with a fine-tooth comb.

not a big problem just do this and understand the concept behind it.
1.when we are going to start--> run-->cmd
it will open into the folder
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator---ok
2.when we are giving ipconfig means we are trying to execute a .exe file which is under that folder
if it is not there it will then give an error"unrecognized command or file"
3.but when we install the operating system our required file get installed in the folder
C:\WINDOWS\system32
that means if u go to C:\WINDOWS\system32
through dos command and give ipconfig it will work.
5.Then go to C:\WINDOWS\system32 and copy that ipconfig file and place it in
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator
and now run the command.problem solved...always be confident about ur basics it will help---
