Free GUI replacement for ipconfig.exe

If you are a network guy, you probably use ipconfig.

Microsoft has released a GUI IP configuration tool that is pretty nice.

Despite what the microsoft directions say, the program is not installed into the default path when it is first installed. The default installation directory is C:\Program Files\Resource Kit.

What I figure most people do is move WNTIPCFG.EXE to c:\windows after installation. Alternatively, you could just drag it onto the programs section of your start menu or onto your desktop to quickly create a shortcut.
