I am pretty sure that ifconfig is there. You will need root access of 
some kind to view it ("sudo" is best, but "su" will do). If you have 
configured sudo, then from your user prompt, type "sudo /sbin/ifconfig" 
and enter your user password when asked.

If this doesn't work, let us know!

Best wishes,
Clint
