"it cannot locate the IP driver or something like that".........could you
find out the exact error message and post it here, as that might provide a
better clue as to the root of the problem. Does this error message occur on
both the laptop and the desktop computer?

Is the ipconfig command not working only on the laptop or does it happen on
the desktop computer also? How are the computers networked (i.e., via
ethernet and crossover cable, via hub or router, wired or wireless)?

I would also recommend posting your problem in the
microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web newsgroup, as you may get assistance
from someone who is more well versed in networking than I (and that wouldn't
take much <g>).
