Vista - TCP/IP stack repair

The equivalent of the old winsock repair in XP.

Start, Programs\Accessories and right click on Command Prompt, select "Run as Administrator" to open a command prompt.

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following commands:

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reset IPv4 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log

Reset IPv6 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log

Reboot the machine.

Malware can mess with Tcp/ip, as can so called optimisers. I had to reset it on an older XP machine, because of being a little over zealous with a few tweaks. :erm: Resetting it cured the problem. I'd hazard a guess and say, it's probably the last thing people think of, when trying to repair a dodgy connection. It's one of the first things I do now.
