    Morning all.

    Does anyone know of an easy guide or website that could help me create a Batch file?

    Or perhaps someone here might be able to help me out???

    Cheers,

    Sam.

    List out what you are wanting to do. What operating system are you using?

    I wanted to send a batch file out to all my users that would open up CMD and run "IPConfig ", so they could then mail me back with the addresses.

    I know theres probably another way to do this but I thought I'd try and be flash!!!

    We are using Win 2000

    Cheers,

    Sam

    Guess I'm getting old.....I tried it but can't get ipconfig to run. But here's some food for thought on something that will work.

    Type out the instructions and add:

    ipconfig > SamBall.txt

    This will create a text file with the results of running ipconfig that they can email you.

    Oh yeah, blinding!!!

    I think I'll do that.

    I've found a MS DOS V.5 book and I think I might give that a read, but it's pretty big so I might just stick to lLord of the Rings...at least thats interesting!!!

    Cheers Steve'o!

    Sam.

    SamBall copy the following script to your Clipboard and paste it into Notepad. Then save it as ip.bat

    cd C:\windows
    winipcfg.exe

    When double clicked it will call up the Winipcfg.exe command file and display the configuration screen.

    Regards

    ps, It won't work on any of the newer systems that don't have DOS support such as XP.
