On two separate Windows XP Professional Systems I have come come across
a problem where the "ipconfig" command will no longer execute from the
command line. Here is the exact wording:

"C:\>ipconfig

Windows IP Configuration

An internal error occurred: The system cannot find the file specified.

Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services for further help.

Additional information: Unknown media status code.

C:\>Dangit! Give me my IP Address Information!!!
'Dangit!' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."
C:\>"

I've never seen this happen on other Microsoft Operating system and I
find it very puzzling, and frustrating as well.

Can someone please explain why this happened and possibly offer some
advice on how to fix it?!

Thanks.
