Command Prompt problem

[arshadmahmood]

Dear Sir,

Click Start menu>click Run> enter CMD> type "ipconfig" then error appear as

C:\>ipconfig
'ipconfig' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Please tell me why????

if you can open cmd prompt,that's not means your run problem, if you can type help or dir and that's appear..is mean your cmd prompt run well. but it's seems just you type ipconfig then appear error like that.
did you have network adapter installed in your system?? and did you already plug your network cable?

 

[merkat106]

try typing: c:\windows\system32\ipconfig /all

does that work?

Try it this way

You probably do not need the elevated command prompt a regular one will do, but just to be sure that you did it correctly.

Open the Command Prompt and type:

set <enter>

and post it here. I want to see if your path is correct or not. That is most likely your problem.

The problem you're having is that "C:\Windows" and "C:\Windows\system32" are not in your PATH:

Path=C:\Program Files\PC Connectivity Solution\;C:\Program Files\Rockwell Softwa
re\RSCommon;C:\Program Files\Rockwell Software\RSView;C:\Program Files\Rockwell
Software\RDM;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live

Try this:

1. Close any CMD windows
2. Click the Start Button
3. Right-click "Computer", select "Properties"
4. In the left pane, click "Advanced system Settings"
5. In the "Advanced" tabe, click "Environment Variables"
6. In the "System variables" list, find and select "Path", then click "Edit"
7. Add "%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;" (without quotes) to the beginning of the variable value. Be careful not to delete anything;
8. Click OK
9. Click OK
10. Click OK
11. Open a CMD window and try again

No offence Dzomlija, but i guess this would be a easier way to add to the PATH

SET PATH=[B]%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%PATH%[/B]

instead of typing the whole path value again

or

• From the desktop, right-click My Computer and click Properties.
• In the System Properties window, click on the Advanced tab.
• In the Advanced section, click the Environment Variables button.
• Finally, in the Environment Variables window (as shown below), highlight the Path variable in the Systems Variable section and click the Edit button. Add or modify the path lines with the paths you wish the computer to access. Each different directory is separated with a semicolon as shown below.

 

[arshadmahmood]

Dear Sir,

I copied your code in exact location but same results.

 

[gladson1976]

Try the second method I posted

• From the desktop, right-click My Computer and click Properties.
• In the System Properties window, click on the Advanced tab.
• In the Advanced section, click the Environment Variables button.
• Finally, in the Environment Variables window (as shown below), highlight the Path variable in the Systems Variable section and click the Edit button.
• Add
  %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;to the beginning. Each different directory is separated with a semicolon as shown.
• Reboot the system and try running ipconfig

Arshad,

Why are you typing ipconfig at the C: prompt? When you run CMD, the prompt that appears is "C:\Users\username". Type ipconfig there.

Arshad,

Why are you typing ipconfig at the C: prompt? When you run CMD, the prompt that appears is "C:\Users\username". Type ipconfig there.

But, that is supposed to work anywhere

 

[Bill2]

It should but its not.

Please also check that you actually have an exe file called ipconfig in C:\windows\system32.
