ipconfig

ipconfig [/options]

Displays the current TCP/IP network configuration for all adapters — the Windows equivalent of ifconfig/ip.

// FLAGS

/allshow full details including DNS servers and MAC address
/releaserelease the current DHCP lease
/renewrequest a new DHCP lease
/flushdnsclear the local DNS resolver cache

// EXAMPLE

ipconfig /all — prints every network adapter's IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS servers.

// GOTCHA

Plain ipconfig shows only a summary — the DNS servers, MAC address, and DHCP lease details that actually matter for troubleshooting only show up with /all.
