Free Windows XP front end for IP Config

OK it doesn't do very much but it is handier than having to run IPconfig from the command line and try to remember all the switches.

Thanks, Carol.  I teach several software classes to technicians who are not all that network savvy, and this handy little tool makes my job and theirs easier. 
On a related note, I also recommend my students who are forced to maintain and switch between several static IP addresses  multiple times a day use NetSetMan http://www.netsetman.com/.  Again, not that it is all that much work to change IP addresses, but reducing steps is always good. :)
