Why each option
On a Windows computer, the `ipconfig /all` command is used to display detailed IP address and DNS server information.
`show interface` is a command used on network devices (e.g., Cisco routers/switches), not a standard Windows command for host IP configuration.
The `ipconfig /all` command provides a comprehensive display of all TCP/IP configuration details for all network adapters on a Windows computer, including IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, DHCP server, and DNS server addresses.
`netstat -r` displays the routing table on a Windows computer, which shows network routes but not the host's IP configuration or DNS servers.
`ifconfig -a` is a command used on Unix-like operating systems (e.g., Linux, macOS) to display network interface configuration, not on Windows.
