When trying to run ipconfig from a cmd window (dos prompt), I receive
the following error. This applies for ipconfig, ping, telnet, format etc.
ERROR MESSAGE:
'ipconfig' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
SOLUTION:
Go to My Computer-> right click-> Properties->Advanced->Environment
Variables->System variables and locate Path Environment Variable. Add C:\windows\system32;C:\windows\; at the
end if it is not already there.
Be sure that the path for C:\windows\system32\ matches that on your computer C: drive.
Reopen cmd window and retry ipconfig, telnet, ping, format etc.
