Today i was mad in resolving the issue to adjust the network connection with my WIFI or wire connection with the wireless switch If you are facing the following issue 1) IPCONFIG /renew (give you error) 2) Network is not connecting to the internet 3) Network is just show local area 4) Network is not showing your proper ip or dhcp provided ip like 192.168.1.XX 5) Network is showing 645.XXX.XXX ip 6) unable to locate your network Sysmtem confirmation Make sure the WIFI or LAN both will not work Solution netsh winsock reset catalog (reset winsock entries) netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt (reset TCP/IP stack) Rebooted the box, it works great again, however APIPA is still enabled. Oh well. Regards Rashid Bilgrami Best visualization http://www.bestvisualization.com/
