only over the actual IP adress...
but you might get more information from using the netsh implementation:
e.g.
netsh ip routing show rtmroutes

Only ask questions with yes/no answers if you want "yes" or "no"

Showing any IP config on XP Pro will only give you Layer 3 information. VLANs are Layer 2 properties of the packet. If your PC connects to a managed switch, the switch port you connect to is going to tag your traffic. Very rarely does the PC even know it is on a VLAN. On rare occasions, if the NIC has the configuration parameters, you can tag traffic from the PC. You can only view the VLAN your tagging under the advanced settings of the Network Adapter.
Rubbish.
The VLAN is what you want it to be.
If yours were correct, how do we have a VLAN600 and VLAN300?

Thank you for pointing that out so eloquently...I stand corrected.
Maybe you would like to give me a text book definition of VLAN's so that I might understand things better myself as well as helping the OP, and not just shoot me down for my apparent lack of knowledge/understanding.

VLAN is short for virtual LAN. You can assign ports on a switch to different VLANs (they are all in VLAN1 by default) making different networks using the same switch. These LANs cannot communicate without some routing, so they are used to segregate your network for security reasons and lesson broadcast traffic. You could determine you VLAN using your IP address, but you would need to know the subnets that each VLAN uses.

ponoodle is correct.
However the reason on my abrupt answer is because people shouldn't try and help on things they have no idea on unless you admit that it's a guess (often when trying to resolve software or hardware issues this is the case).
Stating something as fact, when it is not, helps no one.
