Reset the TCP/IP stack in Windows XP

Some network problems can be resolved simply by resetting the TCP/IP stack. (A common problem is an adapter which will renew an existing IP address lease via DHCP, but cannot get a new one.)

To reset the TCP/IP stack enter the following command at a command prompt:

   netsh int ip reset test.log
