I am running Windows 7. I open a shell by typing 'cmd'.
But when I type 'ipconfig' trying to find out the ip address. I get 'ipconfig is not recognized as an internal or external command.
How can I fix this?

In the command prompt type
path
is "c:\windows\system32" included as one of the path variables?
more than likely it is not.
to add it to your path system variable open Control Panel (icon view) and choose "System"
click "Advanced system settings" on the left side, then click "Environment Variables" button. in the "System Variables" section scroll down and highlight "Path", then click edit.
When the edit windows opens it by default will have the "variable value" line highlighted, tap your right arrow key once to remove the highlight and put the cursor at the end of the line, then type:
(be sure to put a semi colon first)
;c:\windows\system32
to add the system32 path to the end, then click ok on all the windows.
If you think you made a mistake editing, click cancel and start the edit again.
.
It sounds like your path environment variable may have been lost.
