What does ifconfig en0 tell you, though? ipconfig getipaddr doesn't

The point I was making is: ipconfig doesn't appear to do what it's documented to do, but that's neither here nor there. In order to get useful diagnostics on your actual problem, you'll need to use ifconfig. I actually never used/heard of ipconfig before; I always use ifconfig.
ipconfig doesn't give anyone any results at all. It might use an ioctl that isn't implemented in Darwin.

Umm... ipconfig works fine, surely? It's documented in 'Mac OS X in a Nutshell', and when the ethernet port is running OK the form of the command I use (ipconfig getifaddr en0) returns the IP address of en0. When I've got the problem it returns the error message.
This is what 'ifconfig en0' returns:
en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::20a:95ff:fe82:3624%en0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5
inet 192.168.0.25 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
ether 00:0a:95:82:36:24
media: autoselect (10baseT/UTP <half-duplex>) status: active
supported media: none autoselect 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex,hw-loopback> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 100baseTX <half-duplex> 100baseTX <half-duplex,hw-loopback> 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex,hw-loopback>
I think when I ran ifconfig last night when the problem was present, it gave me all that but with blanks after inet & netmask. I'll check some time.
