are you logging as root? or just as a normal user?
if you're not root, then maybe it's just a problem of the user's path variable.
type set , and you can see your path variable...
you can call the command by typing the full path of ifconfig --> /sbin/ifconfig
if still can't,maybe root/admin hide it somewhere else...

ifconfig is a tool included in the net-tool package, maybe you might consider reinstalling it if you need it.

yes you logged as normal user.
just open terminal and type " su - " then give root password.
type your command " ifconfig "

That's it.

This way it won't work You need to put the "-" or the shell won't load all the environment variables of the root account aka you won't be able to use the ifconfig command that's it

so many right things...

let me add:

#whereis ifconfig... this will show u the path to the ifocnfig command.

check ur promt: # if ur root and $ if normal user...

then run the ifconfig from the path.

Another way is to go to:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and check ur ip configurations

Peace.
