Subject: ifconfig equivalent for Windows?

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?
