Ipconfig.exe should (assuming XP was installed to default location) show up on a 
search in c:\windows\system 32 and in c:\windows\system32\dllcache.

When you searched, did you remember to set Search to look in hidden and system folders?

In the command prompt window, if you change the current directory from c:\documents 
and settings\[yourusername] to c:\windows\system32 and then run ipconfig, does it 
run?  If so, the obviously the file is there and functional, you just have to modify 
your path statement in your environmental variables in System Properties>Advanced>Environment 
Variables.

If ipconfig is nowhere to be found, then Start>Run, "sigverif" to get a GUI for the 
system file checker, and restore it from either the c:\windows\system32\dllcache 
or the XP CDROM.  But, ipconfig is one the protected system files, so there really 
should be no need to do it manually unless your system has greater problems.
