But it's interesting that other people are seeing the same error message that I am. I have to say, I'm not impressed with this - this is exactly the sort of thing I'm used to with PCs, and that I never had with my Lombard running 10.2.4 though ethernet and airport. Ah well.....
What it means then (in it's cute little un-documented way; note there's no man page for ipconfig...) is that ethernet interface is not currently active...maybe, or in light of Meg's datapoint, that it hasn't a static IP address associated with it.
I tend to go with Lewin on this and think it's just a poorly ported command that may or may not actually do anything.
