Windows fix all

[Hex]

Hey all,

Does anyone know of a command or utility in xp that runs a series of flushes, release/renews, etc, for connectivity problems. I seem to remember there being something like this, but I can't be sure. Any replies are appriciated!

Thanks,
Hex

from a cmd line you can run ipconfig /flushdns, ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew. for all the associated commands, ipconfig /?

Yeah, it just seems like there was something you could do without all the switches. I'm probley thinking of something else though, or mabey ome 3rde party utility...

Do you mean right click tray icon and "repair"?

[Hex]

That was the one! It doesn't do what I thought it did, but that was the one I was thinking of.You the man Lynch!

Thanks,

I don't believe that the repair option will flush the dns cache...
