Showing IP address

Bored and let unused icon cleaner clean desktop.

Had a command or program that placed a shortcut on desktop that would
show your IP address and all other details for networking.

I've forgotten it, can't find it in my XP tips file, so hoping someone
would be kind enough to help me out.

I can do ipconfig for XP but this was something like winipcfg for W98
that would give a neat little window.

Thanks in advance.
Mark

probably the link to your router status page?

Do the following

1) Open control panel, double click Network connections, right click
your network connection and select properties
Check the "Click the show icon in notification area when connected"
option and click ok
This will place a network status icon in your system tray which you
can now double click and select support to see your IP Address number

2) Click start then click run and enter cmd and click ok
In the command prompt type ipconfig /all to see your network
configuration information such as IP address, mac address etc.

3) Click Start, click all programs, click accesories and then right
click command prompt and place your mouse pointer over send to
desktop. This will display a short menu and then click "desktop
(create shortcut)" which will create a shortcut on your desktop to the
command line.

Once this is done, right click the shortcut and select properties. You
will notice that in the box named Target the text is blue, you will
need to press the end key and enter the following /k ipconfig so that
the command line looks like this
%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /k ipconfig
Click ok to save the shortcut
You will now be able to double click the shortcut and get your
ipaddress
