If you find that your internet connection, in Windows 8,
Windows 7 or Windows Vista, has suddenly stopped working or that you are facing
certain Network and Internet connection problems, here are a few
troubleshooting steps you may want to try!
Network & Internet connection problems
1] IPConfig is a tool built into
Windows, that displays all current TCP/IP network configuration values and
refreshes Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP and Domain Name System DNS
settings. You can access this tool via the command line. If you have a
bad IP address, then renewing your IP address this way may help solve your
internet problems.
Type cmd in start search and
press Ctrl-Shift-Enter. If you wish, just out of curiosity, you
may type ipconfig and hit Enter, to view the status of the
computer’s Internet Protocol or IP address.
Type ipconfig /release to let go
of the current IP address.
Next type ipconfig /renew to
obtain a new IP address.
If you get an error Message When You Run the “Ipconfig
/Renew” Command see KB810606.
If you recurrently face this problem, then you can have it
renewed on every start-up, by creating the following .bat file
and placing it in your startup folder.
Open notepad and type:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /renew
Save it as, say, iprenew.bat file.
2] Frequently, internet connection problems can also be
traced to a corrupted DNS cache. Resetting or Flushing this cache is an easy
fix to many of these problems. This is how you can flush Windows
DNS cache in Windows 8, Windows 7 or Windows Vista.
Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command
Prompt. Right click on it and ‘Run As Administrator’. Type the following and
hit enter:
ipconfig /flushdns
You should be able to see a confirmation dialog window:
Windows IP Configuration. Successfully flushed the DNS
Resolver Cache.
Next type ipconfig /registerdns and
hit Enter.
This registers any DNS records that you or some programs
may have recorded in your Hosts file.
Just in case you are interested, to view the complete
syntax for this command type ipconfig /help and hit Enter!
3] The Network & Internet Diagnostic &
Repair Tool in Windows 8, Windows 7 & Windows Vista will
help you identify the potential issues preventing network connectivity, and it
automatically takes appropriate steps toward correcting them. If a computer on
the network loses Internet connectivity, you can graphically see which connection
is down and then use Network Diagnostics to help determine the cause of the
problem and find possible solutions.
To access it, open Control Panel
> Network & Sharing Center. In the lower part, click on Troubleshoot
Problems. From the windows which opens, you can select Internet Connections or
any other issue you want to troubleshoot and repair.
4] Enable or
Disable IPv6 to solve Internet connectivity problems in Windows
8.
6] Reset TCP/IP,
7] Reset Hosts file,
10] Try NetChecker or Computer Internet Tool.
Hope something helps!
