What distro are you using? Maybe try logging in as root, you probably shouldn't have to (I don't) but it's worth a shot.

To get ifconfig to work On Fedora, you need to be full root, you get to that by doing
Code:
su -
Just su isn't enough, you need to be su -.

Peace,

ifconfig is in /sbin. You either need /sbin in your path or type:
Code:
/sbin/ifconfig -a

Yes you should - /sbin shouldn't be in the path of a normal user.
