The syntax for the use of the IPCONGIG program in Windows 2000 is:

ipconfig [/? | /all | /release [adapter] | /renew [adapter] | /flushdns | /registerdns | /displaydns]

where:

/?             Displays help./all           Displays the full configuration information./release       Releases the IP address for the specified adapter./renew         Renews the IP address for the specified adapter./flushdns      Purges the DNS resolver cache./registerdns   Refreshes all DHCP leases and re-register DNS names./displaydns    Displays the contents of the DNS resolver cache.

The DNS related switches are new for Windows 2000.
