Error: Unrecognized command line argument " "
USAGE:

ipconfig [/? | /all | /release [adapter] | /renew [adapter]

| /flushdns | /registerdns

| /showclassid adapter

| /setclassid adapter [classidtoset] ]

adapter Full name or pattern with '*' and '?' to 'match',

* matches any character, ? matches one character.

Options

/? Display this help message.

/all Display full configuration information.

/release Release the IP address for the specified adapter.

/renew Renew the IP address for the specified adapter.

/flushdns Purges the DNS Resolver cache.

/registerdns Refreshes all DHCP leases and re-registers DNS names

/displaydns Display the contents of the DNS Resolver Cache.

/showclassid Displays all the dhcp class IDs allowed for adapter.

/setclassid Modifies the dhcp class id.


The default is to display only the IP address, subnet mask and

default gateway for each adapter bound to TCP/IP.


For Release and Renew, if no adapter name is specified, then the IP address

leases for all adapters bound to TCP/IP will be released or renewed.


For SetClassID, if no class id is specified, then the classid is removed.


Examples:

> ipconfig ... Show information.

> ipconfig /all ... Show detailed information

> ipconfig /renew ... renew all adapaters

> ipconfig /renew EL* ... renew adapters named EL....

> ipconfig /release *ELINK?21* ... release all matching adapters,

eg. ELINK-21, myELELINKi21adapter.

The server you set up is not accepting DNS queries. Want want to contact your ISP and get the appropriate DNS servers to resolve names to browse the Internet.

On a side note, here is an IP address you can ping to see if you are even getting out to the Internet at all.

Start-->Run--> cmd (or command if older versions of windows)

ping 209.247.121.126

If it responds, most likely it is a DNS resolving issue.

 

"Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Cable Disconnected "

Vally - you have either
- a loose cable
- a bad cable
- the wrong kind (crossover when you need regular or vice versa)
- a bad port (causing the non-connection) at the point where the cable plugs in.

Your network card is not seeing a network or any sort of device.
