ipconfig not working

rated 0 times [ 42] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 227013 / 1 Year ago, mon, march 6, 2023, 2:52:24

For some reason when I enter ipconfig in terminal, it just returns this:

No command 'ipconfig' found, did you mean:

 Command 'tpconfig' from package 'tpconfig' (universe)

 Command 'iwconfig' from package 'wireless-tools' (main)

 Command 'ifconfig' from package 'net-tools' (main)

ipconfig: command not found

Not quite sure what the issue is here or how to approach this

The Ubuntu/Linux equivalent of ipconfig in Windows is ifconfig.

Try typing sudo ifconfig.

The result will look something like this:
