IPConfig will not run

I have a small network at home... machines are in same workgroups.
I can get the internet..but when I run IPconfig /all I get
An internal error occurred: A device attached to the syustem is not
functioning.

I am running wireless and getting the internet fine... just cannot see my
drives on another machine.

You may need to reset the TCP/IP settings. This troubleshooting may help.

IpconfigAn internal error occurred: A device attached to the system is not
functioning ... Why the ipconfig shows 0.0.0.0 ip even you have assigned a
static ip ...

Hi
Try this process to refresh your Network Setting
http://www.ezlan.net/clean.html#refreshnet
As for seeing the computer over the Network, you need to take care of the
File Sharing.
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.

Hi
In many cases it can be caused by processing Junk that comes through active
Internet code.
