How do i reset my ip?`

Brain,
I do not know what is happening.
But to use the IPCONFIG command you can use the following.
ipconfig /?
and you will see the list of commands that are supported.
What I believe that you are looking for is.
ipconfig /renew
But windows will automatically make these connections when you start your
computing sessions.
typing in: ipconfig /all
will tell you what the current statues of your network adapters.
If you can not find more support or become lost again send this information,
if you think it is were the problem is.

PS you have to have local Administrator rights, or equivilant rights that
give access to change the information that are concerened with the network
adapaters.

I recently had to hardboot my computer and when i
restarted it the network wasnt working. No cables or
plgus were working. It is set up just like this one is
downstairs (IM TYPING FROM IT). I would go in the command
prompt and type in ipconfig /reset or restore or whatever
the command is and it wouldnt do it.

ps how do i get to dos from xp pro because i couldnt
format it from command prompt
