Vista query!

[Jim-D]

I'm trying to access my MS-DOS (no idea if thats right or even what it is...)

But when I enter  'ipconfig' in to "run"  it will show on my screen for a split second then dissapear,  Any ideas what i need to do?

I'm just following some online help page and i need to see this info

thanks

MS_DOS stands for Microsoft Disk Operating System. It's the building blocks that run the machine, Windows is just an easy way to use it.

I can only assume that a Dos window is opening to run the task and then closing when it is completed. I am not sure if Vista has this but see if you can open a Dos window THEN use the ipconfig command.

Disclaimer, I'm very much an amateur, others are more likely to give better help.

type cmd in the run box

then teh dos window will apear then type ipconfig in that
