I have been searching for hours trying to find a utility for Windows
that will return the same information as ifconfig regarding overruns,
frame, carrier, Etc. and I find nothing at all.

The problem is that we have a mixed network of Linux and Windows boxes
and my main Linux machine's internal facing NIC is showing
RX packets:86272246 errors:3084 dropped:821 overruns:3084 frame:0
TX packets:80610778 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:4 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:4145544363 (3953.4 Mb)  TX bytes:3168716203 (3021.9 Mb)

and I need to find the Bad Boy that is causing all those overruns.
Short of booting a live Linux distro on each Windows box, is there
some tool available for detecting the source of the RX overruns?

Under the Win9x/ME familly: Start/run/winipcfg

Under NT4, W2K, XP and probably Vista:

'ipconfig' will get you ip address, subnet mask and default gateway.
'ipconfig /all' will get you more details (DNS, DHCP, etc...)

Also, if the machine is configured to use DHCP:
'ipconfig /release' will release the IP to DHCP
'ipconfig /renew' will request an address from the DHCP

Hey you may want to try the "netsh" commands in windows, this is a
powerful command line.
Try "netsh diag adapter 1".........hope this helps
