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

Click on the Windows Start button, select Run and type winipcfg.

Never mind. Found it. From the Windows 2000 Resource kit at
Microsoft's website. wntipconfig.exe

Bah. ipconfig is for wimps.
Real command line junkies (like me) use netsh. Try:

Start -> run -> cmd <enter>
netsh interface ip show
netsh interface ip show address
netsh interface ip show dns

There's a bunch of goodies that Vista added to netsh including
wireless diagnostics. See Section 5:
<http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/f/?en/library/3ed3d027-5ae8-4cb0-ade5-0a7c446cd4f71033.mspx>

netsh wlan show
netsh wlan show all
netsh wlan show networks MODE=BSSID

You might even make the command line
cmd /c ipconfig | find "IP" & pause
which would display just the IP address(es).

Someone in the lab like some download, maybe from sysinternals, that would
paint a bunch of useful stuff as background wallpaper, but it was static.
If you didn't run it after a change, the display would be misleading.

Some wireless config tools have a systray icon that exposes the IP address
if you hover the cursor over the icon.

That might only be helpful for static addresses.

"show address - Displays IP address configuration."

"Configuration for interface "AR5211-WiFi"
DHCP enabled: Yes
InterfaceMetric: 0"

No address is exposed.

yes, thats nice. Would be good to be able to filter out the IPV6 addys
tho, hm,
ifconfig | grep IP | grep -v "::"
agh, need awk...
