How to Reset and Renew Your Internet Connection With a Batch File
By Timothy Tibbetts |
When diagnosing Windows internet problems, it's not unusual to flush the cache, reset Winsock, and reset TCP/IP, essentially resetting and renewing your network connection. All three steps take some time from the Command Prompt, but our batch file can do all of the above for you, saving you time and aggravation.
If you've never or rarely performed these steps, this batch file can be a lifesaver or at least a time saver, simplifying the process of resetting your network settings entirely.
To completely reset and renew everything in this batch file, you would have to:
Flush the Windows DNS Cache
Reset Winsock
Reset TCP/IP
This batch file will do the following:
ipconfig /release and renew: Releases the current IP address obtains a new one.
arp -d *: Deletes and reacquire the hostname.
nbtstat -R: Purge and reload the remote cache name table.
nbtstat -RR: Sends Name Release packets to WINS and then refreshes.
ipconfig /flushdns: Flush the DNS.
ipconfig /registerdns: Begin manual dynamic registration for DNS names and IP addresses.
Techs and advanced users can edit the batch file to suit their needs by adding or removing command prompt commands.
