Today I went to command prompt on Windows xp to diagnose some network issues I had.
I opened the command prompt and I typed "ipconfig" and nothing happens, it only shows my username underneath that command.
I looked everywhere for a solution, and it does not seem to help. I went to start> my computer> properties> advanced> environmental variables> path and I changed it to
C:WINDOWSsystem32. and it did not help. Anyone experienced this before?

SOLVED!!!

I just had to look for it on system32.
For some reason... there is a difference between comand.exe and cmd.exe... weird!!!

Thread tools just above the first post. I was also being slightly facetious.

cmd.exe is 32-bit, command.exe is 16-bit IIRC.
