Author Topic: WINIPCFG under Windows 2000 Pro Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 03-16-2004 06:28 PM                     Start - Run - winipcfg in Windows 98SE will do what it is supposed to. However, there must be a different command line used in Windows 2000 Professional. Does anyone know what it is? Apparently, my machine at work shared the same address as another Windows computer does on the network. As a result, mine blows off the Windows 98 machine in another office. Thanks in advance.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

Even if the IP addresses are different, Win32 machines become unhappy if the hostnames aren't unique.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

If they have the same name they will overwrite each other's DNS entries, among other unfriendly things.  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

I did run the ipconfig command, but a dos window flashed by so quick I could not see waht it was trying to tell me. So, I renamed theis computer in a separate work group. That seemed to work, and it no longer blows off the other computer in the other office. Paul  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

There, you can type your DOS command and see the results.  |  IP: Logged
