Ipconfig, in order to access the utility all you have to do is type
"cmd" in the Search Box under the Vista Start Menu and press Ctrl +
Shift + Enter in order to launch the command prompt administrative privileges.
If you enter the "ipconfig" command, the utility will display all the
Windows Vista IP configuration information. By default, ipconfig will only
publish the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway according to ALL
adapters.
You can still use the same options for ipconfig. Followed by /release, /renew, /flushdns.
Note that the functionality has remained virtually unchanged in Vista. However,
I also want to take a minute and explain the information that Vista will
display after you run the basic "ipconfig".
The Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection will show IPv6 and IPv4 addresses
but also Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.
Always look at the Ipv4 for the IP address
