How to Rebuild your TCP/IP Stack

by on June 27th, 2006

Every once in awhile, the files that control Windows ability to network goes a little wonky. These files, collectively, are known as the TCP/IP stack because they allow the computer to communicate over TCP/IP, grab an IP address, collect name resolution information for DNS, etc.

In order to rebuild your TCP/IP stack, issue the following command via Start > Run…:

netsh int ip reset c:\tcpiprebuild.log

If no errors are reported, you should be good to go. All events related to this command will be logged in c:\tcpiprebuild.log.
