Workstation Net Connection Repair

Timothy Tuohy

There appears to be no net-ish command equivalent to the Repair button in Network Connections. However, you can use the following commands to perform the same configuration functions:

1.	ipconfig /renew (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) lease is renewed)
2.	arp -d * (Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache is flushed)
3.	nbtstat -R (Reload of the NetBIOS name cache)
4.	nbtstat -RR (NetBIOS name update is sent)
5.	ipconfig /flushdns (Domain Name System (DNS) cache is flushed)
6.	ipconfig /registerdns (DNS name registration)
