There are two programs we can use to display your current PC’s TCP/IP setting.

WINIPCFG.EXE
For Win95, 98, ME, the WINIPCFG program is used to gather information about the TCP/IP connections that are active on your system. It cannot be used to dynamically adjust TCP/IP connections. You can also renew leases (if allowed by the network), and get the current IP address assignments through this program.

1. From Windows, go to Start -> Run, enter WINIPCFG, and click “OK”.

2. The following figure displays the adapter address and current TCP/IP address. Select the correct Ethernet adapter that is installed in this computer at the “Ethernet Adapter Information”.

3. Click the “More Info >>” button to get detailed configuration information.

4. On the top, the “Host Name” and “DNS server” of the computer are configured to call when it is looking for a named resource. The default gateway is the server through which the client connects to the Internet. The DHCP Server identifies the network server that assigns IP addresses to computers on the network.

If the product is working properly, the following should be apparent from this screen:
1) The Client should have an IP address within the prescribed range.
2) The “DHCP” and “Default Gateway” should list the product’s local port address (the device’s IP address).
3) The DNS server IP addresses should match the DNS server IP addresses set in the device.

IPCONFIG.EXE
For WinNT and Win2000, go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt to open the Command Prompt. Type in IPCONFIG /ALL and hit “Enter” to see the adapter’s information. Type in IPCONFIG /RELEASE to release all adapters’ IP address and IPCONFIG /RENEW to renew IP addresses. For a list of the IPCONFIG commands, type in IPCONFIG.
