Brian,
        There isnt exactly the same thing under linux... but there are things that do 
the same thing. for instance, ifconfig can be used to show how your interface 
is setup, aswell as configure your interface. if you want a dhcp client, the 
dhclient, or dhcpcd (whichever is installed on your machine) will do the 
dynamic host config part of winipcfg. 

try these commands:

ifconfig
(if eth0 isnt configured try:)
dhcpcd eth0
or 
dhclient eth0

alternatively you  may also have ifup
ifup eth0

It _is_ user-friendly.  It is not ignorant-friendly and idiot-friendly.
