    Just paste it, as below (the names have been changed to protect the innocent!). You just need to click the icon at the very top-right of the command prompt window, choose Edit, then Mark, highlight the text to copy, then go back to the menu and choose Edit, then Copy. The text is now in the clipboard, so you should just be able to paste it into a message: You can even change the font to Courier so that the fixed-width characters are used, just like in the command prompt window:

    ip Address 192.168.1.1
    Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
    ip Address
    default Gateway 192.168.1.1

    I don't know much about networking, but a PC on the network shouldn't have the same IP as the router. Could that be the problem?
