Add " /k" in the command line (space and /k, no quote marks).
See how nice I am to you, Mr. "do I need a firewall?"

MS- DOS Screen

After I type in a command such as ping or ipconfig in the run box, the
MS-DOS window quickly opens and then closes. How do I get that window to
remain open? It used to stay displayed in the past.

Re: MS- DOS Screen

I doubt it. I've never seen it.

What you do is run COMMAND from the Run box, then run your DOS commands in
the box.

RE: MS- DOS Screen

Have you tried adjusting your DOS settings. You should have a DOS Icron and
right click and adjust the properties. Please be warned that poster is
responding to question and if you hose certain settings your os may not boot
properly and poster is not responsible if user hoses their DOS settings and
it affects Windows settings as well.

Type ...

command /k ipconfig

.... in the Start->Run box.

Then type "exit" to close the window.

Alternatively, typing ...

ipconfig /all /batch

.... or ...

winipcfg /all /batch

.... will capture the output in a file named WINIPCFG.OUT.

Typing "winipcfg" will launch the GUI version of ipconfig.

command /k ipconfig worked but the ipconfig /all /batch
didn't. Thanks for reminding me about winipcfg and for helping to solve the
problem, Franc.

Still, this is new behavior. I never had to add those command keys before.

One normally does not run these commands from Start> Run, but rather from a DOS box
(MS-DOS Prompt), where the extra parameter is not necessary.
