ifconfig

The full path is /sbin/ifconfig, which may be helpful to know if you've got one of those Linux distributions which doesn't find it helpful to add /sbin to the PATH.

Interesting fact: winipcfg is NOT an MS-DOS command. It is a Windows 9x command (not available on NT/2000). The MS-DOS command that most closely resembles Unix ifconfig is ipconfig. It, like winipcfg but unlike ifconfig, is not able to CHANGE the interface configuration, only query it.
