$ ipconfig /all

try on your machine

The command "ipconfig /all" is used in the Windows operating system to display detailed information about the network configuration of a computer. Here is a breakdown of the command:

"ipconfig" stands for Internet Protocol Configuration. It is a command-line utility that provides network-related information such as IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, DNS servers, and more.
"/all" is a parameter that instructs the "ipconfig" command to display all available information about the network configuration instead of just basic details.

When you execute the "ipconfig /all" command in the Command Prompt or PowerShell, you will get a comprehensive list of network settings and properties for all active network interfaces on your computer. This can include Ethernet (wired) connections, Wi-Fi (wireless) connections, virtual network adapters, and more. The information displayed can be helpful for troubleshooting network issues or obtaining specific details about your network configuration.
