Access to IP info through Control Panel?

Expand Post »
I've seen this, but can't seem to find it. In one of the Icons in the Control Panel I believe you can see IP info, do release and renew, etc; and it's not through the "cmd" in the Run menu. Anyone aware of this?
Thanks, BuddyB

Re: Access to IP info through Control Panel?

Hello,

I seem to remember a graphical client to reset/renew the network interfaces, but I am pretty sure it wasn't a control panel.

Closest thing you might have to do to get this type of functionality is write some small batch files and attach them to icons.

Re: Access to IP info through Control Panel?

on NT and Windows 98 you could use "wntipcfg " in the run command for a graphical interface. But in XP you can



Go to Control Panel / Network Connections / Double click the icon for your network
Click on the Support tab
Click on the Details button

You can use the repair which I believe does a release and renew
