PMFJI but ipconfig does also work on NT. It's winipcfg that doesn't work in NT/W2K.

"ipconfig" will give you the basic info while "ipconfig /all" will give you:

        Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : 
        Primary DNS Suffix  . . . . . . . : 
        Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : 
        IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : 
        WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : 
        DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : 
                                            

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : 
        Description . . . . . . . . . . . : 
        Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 
        DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : 
        Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : 
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 
        DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 
        DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 
                                            
        Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : 
        Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : 

As well as the info for all your other connections if used (dial-up, multi-NIC)

Obviously depending what he wants to do, it may be better as you noted, to use API's

>looks like ipconfig works on win2k, but, probably not on NT - that's why I was using netstat /r. What are the API functions you would use to do this?
>>That works - but it's a bit messy.. and winnt/2k doesnt use ipconfig.. API functions are the solution - through C style calls to DLL's..if you really need this stuff - let me know, i'll put an example together for you..
