In Windows 98 there is a lot of command which can help to troubleshoot network problem
such as ipconfig , netstat ,winipcfg and etc but unfortunately previous version Win95
does't have these kind command.Can anyone tell me how to check a Win95 computer
IP address when it is connected to a network or internet acting as a DHCP client.
Please advise.

Greetings,

To find out the IP Address of your computer in Windows 95, select Run from the Start menu, then type winipcfg and click OK.

if winnipcfg and ipconfig commands are not available at dos prompt then try pinging your own computer name ....type PING MYComputer and hit enter MYComputer is your computers name ( netbios name ) you can check this name in network properties .....you will get a reply from an IP address which is your current ip address .

Good Luck !!!!

WINIPCFG does indeed exist on a W95 machine. You can access it from the MS-DOS prompt or by RUNning it from under the Start menu. You might try PING from under the DOS prompt too.

All the above answers are correct. Winipcfg does exist in win95 but you must make sure that all the tools are installed. First, right click your network icon, make sure that tcp/ip is installed, if not try to install but adding them. you should thenbe able to get your ip.
