Re: Showing IP address

Never mind. Found it. From the Windows 2000 Resource kit at
Microsoft's website. wntipconfig.exe

or a shortcut with commandline ""cmd /c "ipconfig & pause""

Bah. ipconfig is for wimps.
Real command line junkies (like me) use netsh. Try:

Start -> run -> cmd <enter>
netsh interface ip show
netsh interface ip show address
netsh interface ip show dns

There's a bunch of goodies that Vista added to netsh including
wireless diagnostics. See Section 5:
<http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/f/?en/library/3ed3d027-5ae8-4cb0-ade5-0a7c446cd4f71033.mspx>

netsh wlan show
netsh wlan show all
netsh wlan show networks MODE=BSSID
