You can download a version of Winipcfg from Microsoft. Ipconfig is the
utility that did all the IP configurations for NT/2000/XP.

You can see what the settings are in a run of the Command Prompt and
giving
ipconfig /all

You set them in the Properties of the relevant connection in Network
Connections. Mainly (r-click - Properties) highlight TCP/IP in the pane
and Properties of that
