When you use the IPCONFIG /ALL command, it displays the configuration information for all your interfaces, as in:

Windows IP Configuration   Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : jsi001   Primary Dns Suffix  . . . . . . . : JSIINC.COM   Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown   IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes   WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No   DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : JSIINC.COMEthernet adapter Internet:   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :   Description . . . . . . . . . . . : 3Com EtherLink XL 10/100 PCI TX NIC (3C905B-TX)   Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-51-AD-67-1A-3E   DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No   IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.248   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy   DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz                                       aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa   NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : DisabledEthernet adapter JSIINC:   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :   Description . . . . . . . . . . . : 3Com EtherLink Server 10/100 PCI (3C980B-TX)   Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-51-AD-27-1E-813   DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No   IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :   DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1

When you use the netsh interface ip show config command, it shows configuration information for all your interfaces, like"

Configuration for interface "Internet"    DHCP enabled:                         No    IP Address:                           xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx    SubnetMask:                           255.255.255.248    Default Gateway:                      yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy    GatewayMetric:                        0    InterfaceMetric:                      1    Statically Configured DNS Servers:    zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz                                          aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa    Statically Configured WINS Servers:   None    Register with which suffix:           NoneConfiguration for interface "JSIINC"    DHCP enabled:                         No    IP Address:                           192.168.0.1    SubnetMask:                           255.255.255.0    InterfaceMetric:                      0    Statically Configured DNS Servers:    192.168.0.1    Statically Configured WINS Servers:   None    Register with which suffix:           Primary only

If you wish to display IP configuration information for a specific interface, use:

netsh interface ip show config "Interface Name"

Example

Typing netsh interface ip show config "JSIINC" returns:

Configuration for interface "JSIINC"    DHCP enabled:                         No    IP Address:                           192.168.0.1    SubnetMask:                           255.255.255.0    InterfaceMetric:                      0    Statically Configured DNS Servers:    192.168.0.1    Statically Configured WINS Servers:   None    Register with which suffix:           Primary only

NOTE: How can I rename an interface (Local Area Connection) from the command-line?

NOTE: How do I retrieve an interface {GUID}?

NOTE: How can I locate the registry key for the TCPIP service parameters interface for my LAN?
