Explanation

ifconfig (interface configuration) is a Unix/Linux command used to display and configure network interface parameters, including IP address, subnet mask, and MAC address. On Windows, the equivalent is ipconfig. The other options serve different purposes: nbtstat displays NetBIOS over TCP/IP statistics and name tables; dig is a DNS lookup tool; and msconfig is a Windows system configuration utility that manages startup programs and services - not network interfaces.
