To get your network information from a command prompt, first you need to get your command prompt window open. You can do this from Xp and older by clicking the start button then typing cmd in the "run" box. In windows 7, click on the windows button then type cmd in the "search programs and files" box and the window will come up.

Once you have the command prompt window open, just type ipconfig in that window and hit enter. this will give you lots of useful network information such as your TCPIP address.

you can also type in ipconfig /? to get all of the possible "switches" you can use to get specific info.
