IPConfig error

I am running Windows XP Professional. I'm trying to run ipconfig, but when I
go to the command prompt and try, it gives me the error "ipconfig is not
recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch
file.". When I change the directory to windows\system32 and try to run it, I
get another error: "IP ConfigurationFatal Error TCP/IP is not running
on this system".

I have TCP/IP set up already, have tried rebooting. Any suggestions? Thanks

1) Reset TCP/IP.
2) Reload driver for network adapter.
3) Repair LSP / Winsock.
