Hello,

I'm new in the world of linux, and i want to know what is the command that is identic to the "ipconfig" in windows.

Thanks,

make sure you type 'ifconfig' as root or it will say command not found.

Thanks,

I was typing ifconfig in another user, not in root, that's why it wasn't working.

Thanks for all..

as a user other than root, you would simply specify the path

/sbin/ifconfig

and it should work fine.

If you want to renew/release IP Address

use "sudo dhclient eth0" where eth0 is the interface you want to renew/release...
