Umm... ipconfig works fine, surely? It's documented in 'Mac OS X in a Nutshell', and when the ethernet port is running OK the form of the command I use (ipconfig getifaddr en0) returns the IP address of en0. When I've got the problem it returns the error message.
Well, I meant documented as in 'There's a man page for the command'. ipconfig -? gets you some brief instructions, but 'man ipconfig'
It's all nice and fine if 'Mac OSX in a Nutshell' has it, but I don't have that book, nor is there an 'ipconfig' command on any of the other unix systems I have access to.
That you're only getting the error message when you have networking pronlems, indicates it's diagnostic od network problems (no duh!) Check the network: cables, routers, etc.
