You can use a simple batch file to do this. Just put a shortcut to it on the desktop and ask them to run it for you: @echo off echo The name of this computer is hostname echo ================================ echo The ip configuration of this computer is netsh interface ipv4 show address pause Maybe not perfect, but it's free! This will work for Windows 7 machines, but for XP, replace the netsh command with ipconfig.

Or if you want to give your users a graphical interface, put the following in a .cmd file: @echo off echo The name of this computer is > info.txt hostname >> info.txt echo ================================ >> info.txt echo The ip configuration of this computer is >> info.txt netsh interface ipv4 show address >> info.txt notepad info.txt del info.txt
