Use a Shortcut to Local Area Network Connection Information

Mar 13th, 2004

I found this in a few different places around the 'net - hopefully it's helpful:

Use a Shortcut to Local Area Network Connection Information

Something new in Windows XP - instead of using the command line program and typing ipconfig to find local area network information, you can use the following shortcut:

Click Start, point to Connect to, and then click Show All Connections.
Right-click the connection you want information about, and then click Status.
In the connection Properties dialog box, click the Support tab.
For even more information, click the Advanced tab.
To automatically enable the status monitor each time the connection is active, in the connection Properties dialog box, select the Show icon in taskbar notification area when connected check box.
