How To Fix “ipconfig” not recognized as an internal or external command?

Why is “ipconfig” not recognized as an internal or external command?

It could indeed be down to system variables.

• Right click My Computer in Start Menu or on desktop and click Properties
• Choose Advanced System settings -> Advanced
• Click the Environment Variables... button
• Find the system variable called Path and click it
• Click Edit... button
• It should be a long string with several paths separated by a semi-colons ;
• Check it contains C:\Windows\system32 (I'm assuming your system drive is C)
• If your not sure if it is correct then you might want to copy it and post it here.
• If you make changes you may need to restart to see any effect

If this doesn't help then open your C:\Windows\system32 directory and ensure it containsIPConfig.exe. If it doesn't then I guess you must be missing system files.
