If you click the top left corner of the cmd box you will get a menu, in that menu is the edit tool, you can use that to select all and then copy. Once you have done that you can paste the info into a post.
If you have not got DHCP enabled then it's likely that you are not connecting as you are not getting an ip address.

Odds are that at some point an IP address has been specified and that is keeping you off the wireless network, you need to turn DHCP on and let it assign an IP address automatically.

not if they can't get onto the internet..

If the poster couldn't get on the internet she wouldn't be able to post here

2 pc's......................

PaulK_3

I am aware of the 2 pcs, I'm just wondering what you meant in your post.

albertross_2

I meant, you are suggesting they use a laptop that can't connect to the internet, to copy and paste an ipconfig output onto the internet. without a usb stick etc, that is going to be difficult.

The proxy is not enabled nor the DHCP (whatever they are)

I can't get the info on here cos of the laptop situ (2 laptops)

Follow the instructions in my post above (wikihow link) and it tells you how to turn the DHCP back on for your network adaptor and set IP assignment to auto. Should help things out a bit, you may need to reboot afterwards to get it onto it's new settings.
As to the copy and paste situation, being on the same network would have been useful but there was always the hope that a USB key, CDR etc could have been used to transfer the information or the poster could have just typed it into the post (A lot of work I know). But I see your point
