Using the Ipconfig Diagnostic Utility for Network Connections.

 

 

The following commands are run from Command Prompt to determine or rule out/in network/internet issues.

 

Each command starts with ipconfig.

 

Each command would be written:

 

Example: ipconfig /all (ipconfig space /all.

 

 

The most common commands we use are as follows:

 

ipconfig Show information

 

ipconfig /all Show detailed information

 

ipconfig /renew Renew all adapters

 

ipconfig /renew EL* Renew any connection whose name starts EL

 

ipconfig /release *Con* Release all matching connections.Example: Local Area Connection 1 or Local Area Connection2

 

 

Note: That the /Release and /Renew options can be used only if the system is configured with DHCP.

 

/? Displays this help message

 

/all Displays full configuration information

 

/release Releases the IP address for the specified adapter

 

/renew Renews the IP address for the specified adapter

 

/flushdns Purges the DNS Resolver cache

 

/registerdns Refreshes all DHCP leases and reregisters DNS names

 

/displaydns Displays the contents of the DNS Resolver Cache

 

/showclassid Displays all the DHCP ClassIds allowed for the specified adapter

 

/setclassid Modifies the DHCP ClassId

 

 

Notes:

 

The adapter connection name can use wildcard characters (* and ?).

 

The default (with no parameters specified) is to display only the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for each adapter that is bound to TCP/IP.

 

For /all, Ipconfig displays all of the current TCP/IP configuration values, including the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) and DNS configuration.

 

For /release and /renew, if no adapter name is specified, the IP address leases for all adapters that are bound to TCP/IP are released or renewed.

 

For /setclassid, if no ClassId is specified, the ClassId is removed.
