Using CMD to fix your non-static IP internet (Read 312 times)

For those of you that have DSL through a router and it often drops your connection to the internet, I have found a very simple solution. I have problems with my DNS server and IP etc but I found these simple commands for CMD.exe:
Start cmd.exe (run as admin in Vista)
type ipconfig /flushdns and press enter
type ipconfig /release and press enter
type ipconfig /renew and press enter (this may take a few seconds.)
Then exit cmd.
Note, not a permanent solution but is very simple.

A lot of people must have this problem because I keep reading about it. I've never experienced it.

If if happens often would it work if someone made a batch file out of the commands? Seems it would be a lot easier than manually typing all that gibberish.

Code:

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

Yeah, I put it in a batch file. Many local small ISP's have serious DNS problems because we never had problems on comcast until we switched (because they didn't have service in our area.) Roll Eyes

But I know nothing of networks etc so the flush is my thing Grin
