To clear things up ipconfig works from a command prompt in all versions of windows. ifconfig works in most *nix systems. And winipcfg is a graphical front end for Win 95, 98, & ME. To run this just go to run and type "winipcfg" (no quotes). If your on w2k or XP go to run and type "cmd", then on the command line type ipconfig. Yes this will just give you your local IP which may be different from your IP the outside world in which case refer to the links posted to double check how your system is set up.
