As with almost any "DOS" command, if your window is too small to hold the
output, you can redirect it, either to page a screenful at a time
("ipconfig /all | more") or to put its output in a text file
("ipconfig /all >ipconfig.txt").
Your addressing all looks fine, and as you say, the ping success indicates
you can reach the Internet *if your machine is told what address to connect
to*. It just has trouble finding the addresses that go with Internet host
names, and I think if we can see the actual DNS parameters in use, we'll
know why.
