Is there any file in windows 2000 that I could open (for example with notepad) and see my network settings. In fact I am interested only in IP address but it would be great if I could see other things like mask. (For all those who are curious - I have a ghost image of the system partition and need to know this computers IP) Greetings panko

Please don't make me a fool :) I know how to check IP on the computer I use. I need to know IP from the file system that is not running. I've got only image of system partition and I need information about this computers IP without bringing this system to life.

panko
The PC will not have a IP address until it loads up or to say comes to life and hooks 
up to the NetWork this is one of the 1st things win2k OS will do when the machines 
boots up...(reads the nic card and gives it a IP)
192.168.0.1 to 192.168.xxx.xxx the norm.
Or you may have one from your ISP..
You can find it with Netdiag from MS (small program from MS) that you can download 
and run on your network machines..

You are making yourself a fool....this image is not connected to a network, therefore it has no IP. If you are running DHCP then it will grab an IP every time it connects to the network. If you are using static IPs then just look at your DHCP server and see what IP you assigned to that computer.

It is static and defined on each machine not given by a server.

On 2000, this information is stored in the registry in the HKLM hive and not in a file that is easily read.

Well, there is a way (not simple). Depending of the version of Ghost, you can extract 
individual files, in this case the registry : \WINNT\system32\config\system. You 
are looking for the key IPAddress that resides in 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\{hexnumber}\Parameters\Tcpip. 
The best way to see it is using a winxp machine. Run regedit, load the hive (the 
file you just extracted), and Find the key in that hive. Under win2k, regedt32 does 
not have the find function, and navigating to the key is a big pain.

That is exactly what I wanted to know!! Great thanks! I found everything, but what is an explanation for this mysterious {hexnumber}?

I think it is hardware related. I have several machines running win2k, and the value 
is different on each.

The hex number is unique to each connection.
