We have a discussion of this issue on the website one the
Hidden Windows98 Utilities:  http://nospin.com/pc/win98hid.html

IP Configuration Tool
Winipcfg.exe
The Ethernet adapter information tool provides the current
information about your IP address assigned when you
connect to your ISP. It includes your Subnet Mask and
the Gateway your ISP is using. This information can be
helpful in connecting your system to other computers
on the Internet. IP Config is found in your c:\Windows
directory.

This file is also in the earlier versions of Windows95...
