IPConfig Command
IPConfig (ipconfig.exe) is the well known console application in Microsoft Windows for troubleshooting network problems. It displays all current TCP/IP network configuration values and can modify DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and DNS (Domain Name System) settings.
You can use IPConfig to display the current Internet protocol configuration, identify whether DHCP is being used, and release and renew an automatic IP configuration.
