Why is 'ipconfig' not recognized as internal and external command ??

ipconfig: The command which is used to find out the IP address of your system.

Steps to find out how to find out the IP address of your system
________________________________________________

1. Click on Start ---> and RUN
2. Under RUN write cmd and click enter.
3. It willl guide you to the command prompt console.
4. Just type ipconfig which will show you the IP address of your system.

But if your luck is not with you, you will get an error like "ipconfig'  not recognized as internal and external command ?? So what might be the issues for it ???

Reason1: If C:\Windows\System32 were missing from the path statement in the Environment Variables then definitely the command will not going to work.

For this you need to check from the environment variable path whether the path is exist or not,if not you need to add it and make sure that the IPConfig.exe should be present in the directory.

Steps to check how to go to your Environment Variable path:

1. Right Click on the My Computer ---> Go to Properties.
2. Choose and Click on the Advanced System Settings,from the left side bar.
3. It will prompt you the system properties window.
4. Now choose the ADVANCED tab.
5. Click on Environments Variable.
6. Click on Path and copy and past all the things to a note pad.



Now to track whether  C:\Windows\System32  is present in the path or not .

7. Check whether the path    C:\Windows\System32\; is present or not in the current environment path variable.
8. If not add it after ; like ; C:\Windows\System32\;



See I have added this in the end that's why I have not ended with ; but if you have added at the middle then you have to give ; and that is must.

Now again try in the command prompt and you will get the IP address
