ifconfig equivalent for Windows?

I have been searching for hours trying to find a utility for Windows
that will return the same information as ifconfig regarding overruns,
frame, carrier, Etc. and I find nothing at all.

The problem is that we have a mixed network of Linux and Windows boxes
and my main Linux machine's internal facing NIC is showing
RX packets:86272246 errors:3084 dropped:821 overruns:3084 frame:0
TX packets:80610778 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:4 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:4145544363 (3953.4 Mb) TX bytes:3168716203 (3021.9 Mb)

and I need to find the Bad Boy that is causing all those overruns.
Short of booting a live Linux distro on each Windows box, is there
some tool available for detecting the source of the RX overruns?

I think ipconfig is the closest windows command line utility.

ditto.

winipcfg on older windows.

ipconfig /ALL

in combination with

route PRINT

Most of the stuff is gui based. Not that they all of them are accessible
from the menu by default. Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager ->
Network Interface -> Properties -> TCP/IP -> and friends. I'm kind of
surprised that I remember that. I haven't run windows or worked in windows
for several years. Half a decade even. The real trick is regedit.exe
tricks to change your MTU size and stuff. Which varies between versions.

Why do they keep calling it java when it's really C#+-XYZ? As I look at my
java game book, and see that almost every I/O call on it has been
deprecated.

Under the Win9x/ME familly: Start/run/winipcfg

Under NT4, W2K, XP and probably Vista:

'ipconfig' will get you ip address, subnet mask and default gateway.
'ipconfig /all' will get you more details (DNS, DHCP, etc...)

Also, if the machine is configured to use DHCP:
'ipconfig /release' will release the IP to DHCP
'ipconfig /renew' will request an address from the DHCP

Hey you may want to try the "netsh" commands in windows, this is a
powerful command line.
Try "netsh diag adapter 1".........hope this helps

netsh opens a shell. There is no "diag" and none of the available
commands looks promising. What version of Windows does this work for?

Apparently Vista. I just used netsh for the first time today.

netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces
netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "1" MTU=576 stored=persistent

(or something like that)
I guess that's better than hacking the windows registry to change MTU
size. But still a bit cryptic and relatively undocumented. I had to
google from linux to get that gem. Because I couldn't get anything across
the internet aside from a ping until I made the change. Which is odd
because it worked fine six months ago when I last booted windows.

YES! That works well enough. Thank you so much.
