Question : Something wrong with ipconfig and winipcfg in my Windows XP ... advise needed

Hi Experts,

I'm using Windows XP Profesional. Recently, I noticed that :-

#1# In cmd prompt, when I typed ipconfig, it cannot show the ip address at all

      c:\> ipconfig
             
     Windows IP Configuration

     c:\> ipconfig/all

     Windows IP Configuration

        Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : schong
        Primary Dns Suffix  . . . . . . . :
        Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown
        IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes
        WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes


#2#  When I type winipcfg (either in command prompt or in start-->run)

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

I'm connecting to ADSL thru USB Prolink wireless adaptor, to my home wireless router

  [desktop] <--> [USD wireless adaptor] <---> [wireless router] <---> [ADSL modem] <---> [phoneline]

I can still serve the net without any problems :-
e.g. : I can still :-
1) update anti virus patterns
2) connect to WWW
3) download from http, ftp
4) etc ...

However, when I open my Window Media Player 10, trying to do "check For Player Updates", I cannot perform update, as it complaint saying :

   An unexpected error has occurred. Setup was not able to detect any Windows Media updates. Please try again later.


I can't recall what has been done corrupting it.
Can experts pls kindly help me to root cause the problem, and provide a solution to it.

Thank you very much in advanced. :)


Best Regards,

Looks like you need to uninstall your network drivers, reboot, and reinstall them.
Make sure you have the correct version.

Winipcfg doesn't exist under Windows XP.
