Ipconfig.exe Usage for MS-DOS 3.0 Network Client
This article was previously published under Q183858 SYMPTOMS
When you use the Ipconfig.exe file from the Microsoft Network Client 3.0
for MS-DOS that ships with Windows NT Server 4.0, you may receive the
following error messages:
No DHCP data available
-or-
Usage: C:\Net\Ipconfig.exe <lanroot>
CAUSE
The Ipconfig.exe file from the Microsoft Network Client 3.0 is different
from the version that ships with Windows for Workgroups 3.11 or the one
that ships with Windows NT 4.0. The <lanroot> option refers to the
directory where the networking software is installed, usually C:\Net.
RESOLUTION
The proper syntax for IPCONFIG in this case would be:
Ipconfig.exe C:\Net
MORE INFORMATION
The <lanroot> variable is defined in the [network] section of the
System.ini that is located in the directory where the client was installed. Any other switches or commands will produce one of the two error messages described above. NOTE: Ipconfig.exe from the Microsoft Network Client 3.0 can also be run from Windows 95, as long as the directory for the client still exists because the <lanroot> option must be entered. Another alternative for a command-line Ipconfig.exe in Windows 95 is to use the Ipconfig.exe from Windows for Workgroups 3.11. APPLIES TO
