Frequently Asked Question

Every now and then, many PC users may find that their Network connections fail for seemingly no reason. And, while rebooting your Windows PC works in some cases, it is not ideally the best solution.

If your Windows 11/10/8/7 computer is unable to connect to the Internet, you may want to reset TCP/IP. Do remember to create a system restore point first. If you are not able to browse the internet, but able to ping other IP address, then resetting TCP/IP works.

Fix Network & Internet connection problems in Windows 11/10

1/ Type cmd in start search and press Ctrl-Shift-Enter.

2/ Type the following and hit Enter:

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
arp -d *
nbtstat -R
nbtstat -RR
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns

The description of the parameters are as follows:

• The two ipconfig commands will release the current IP address and then immediately ask for a new one.
• The arp command deletes the current hostname so we can reacquire it.
• The nbtstat -R command purges and reloads the remote cache name table.
• The nbtstat -RR command sends Name Release packets to WINS and then starts a refresh.
• The final two ipconfig commands flush the DNS and then initiate manual dynamic registration for the DNS names and IP addresses that are configured at the computer.
