You don't run ipconfig from the menu, you run cmd from the menu, then ipconfig in the window.

They might have meant msconfig from the run menu instead of ipconfig

To begin, I've been a computer geek since my very first computer (used them before this, but got into it about this time) an Apple II-C.

wow, the first computer I actually owned was an Apple IIc too with ProDos. I actually used my brother in laws account at NASA to log in and run a computer program I was writing for a structural frame analysis course in college via a dial up modem with it. The only alternative to it was to drive to the college and sit in front of a punch card machine.
