This gadget rocks! The only way it could be better is if MS included it so it'd be on every PC 
The install procedure is a bit different though. Just double-click the .gadget file and then click Install.
Which of the following Network Troubleshooting command line tools do you use most often?
PathPing
Netstat
Which would you like to see as a Gadget?
Are there other commnd line tools that you would like to see converted to a Gadget?

I use these a lot on the job for networking:
traceroute
or
tracepath
mtr
nmap
dig ( it so much better than nslookup which is deprecated )
host
nc(netcat)
tcpdump
or
tshark

The gadget doesn't install in my Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 (dutch version)but comes with an "error on webpage" message and "rule 8: document.getElementByID(...) is empty or no object".
What is wrong?

The command that this error message is referring to comes from the initializing routine and it seems that the object that is the background image for the gadget icon.
I would surmise, that the gadget did not install correctly/completely. If that is the case, you should attempt to uninstall the incomplete version (right-click and select uninstall, from the Gadget Gallery interface). Then, reinstall the IPConfig Gadget.

The IPConfig gadget doesn't reside in the Gadget Gallery Interface, so I can't uninstall it this way. Is there another way to achieve this?
...show up in the Gadget Gallery interface, then it is not installed.
Check the instructions in the readme and try to install it again.

I skipped the part to install the Elevate HTML power toy. I did so now, but i don't understand the "run as administrator command to run the tool". I have no idea where the power toy has been installed and what i have to do with it.
...confusing the the two versions of this tool.
Windows Vista IP Configuration Tool is an HTA and it requires that you install the Elevate HTML Application PowerToy.
The IPConfig Gadget will prompt you for elevation when it is needed.
Try and reinstall the IPConfig Gadget folloing the instructions...if you get an error message, please copy it down verbatum and let me know.

When I reinstall the gadget (e.a. open the file IPConfig.gadget with the "windows sidebar" program) the only thing that happens is that the sidebar opens on the screen, that's all, no message, nothing else happens.
...the manual way:
The quickest way to access the Gadgets folder in Vista is to press [Windows]R to access the Run dialog box and then type the following command in the Open text box:
%userprofile%\appdata\local\microsoft\windows sidebar\gadgets
Once you access the gadgets folder, look for the IPConfig.gadget folder. If it is there, delete it.
Then, copy the IPConfig.gadget folder that you downloaded to the gadgets folder.
Now, access the Gadget Gallery interface and double click the IPConfig icon to install the gadget.

The manual way succeeded, but in a slightly different way. I manually unzipped the IPConfig.zip file to a folder, renamed that folder (not the zipfile) to IPConfig.gadget and copied it to the gadgets folder the way you described. OK. I retried the standard installation method and that still doesn't work. Is this because my Vista doesn't use its internal unzip function anymore? I had to install 7-ZIP. How can I repair the internal unzip function of Vista? Was that the problem here? Thanks for all your help!
where can I find the same tool for xp
...designed for Windows Vista. Windows XP doesn't support Sidebar Gadgets.
The link to which you so kindly posted in the article.
I think I'll be recommending it in another forum for all the folks who can't mange this stuff at the command line. Very handy, I think.
