Quickly get all your DHCP info with ipconfig

If you’ve ever needed to troubleshoot a network or internet connection, you know how frustrating it can be (particularly when you’re on techsupport with various broadband providers). This quick tip can make the job a little easier on yourself. Open the command line and using the ipconfig utility, you can quickly access all of your DHCP info.

The command usage for a Mac using WiFi is usually as follows:
ipconfig getpacket en1

The command for a wired network using ethernet is usually:
ipconfig getpacket en0

You’ll be presented with a bunch of information, but the most useful of which is usually the DHCP data at the end as seen in the screenshot. I hope this helps you as much as it helped me!
