I'll second Satis. That happened to me once. No idea why. I had to specify the full path for every fucking program.
Try "ping yahoo.com" and "tracert yahoo.com". If those both fail then it's your path.

| Post subject: | IPconfig |
I wanted to forward some ports in my router, and to find the needed IP info I always use ipconfig from a command line window. However, all of a sudden this stopped working, and windows says it doesn't know the command. What the fuck's up? |

I think he was poll-starved. Your path is screwed up, more than likely, so it doesn't know where to find the file. Since it's xp, the most likely path is c:\Windows\system32\ipconfig Try that.... if that's the case something fubbed up your system path. Otherwise, something deleted ipconfig. |

haha...yea...fix your path. 
Right click My Computer go to properties go to advanced click environment variables in the system variables section (bottom) find PATH and open it you may want to copy the contents and put them in notepad so you can read it if it's empty, nevermind that last step you should have the following entries in there somewhere...every entry is separated by a semi-colon (;) %SystemRoot%\system32 %SystemRoot% If that doesn't work, try manually specifying the system root, ie c:\Windows\system32 c:\windows That should fix you. |
