What actions occur when I click Repair on a network connection in Windows XP and later?
A. If you right-click a network connection and select Status, Windows displays information about the connection's speed, duration of connection, and packet activity. For XP and later, a Repair option appears on the Support tab. When you click Repair, Windows attempts to resolve a range of problems. Specifically, the OS
- Attempts to renew the DHCP lease, if the connection obtains its IP address through DHCP, using a broadcast message.
- Flushes the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache using the command
arp -d *
- Flushes the NetBIOS cache using the command
nbtstat -R
- Flushes the DNS cache using the command
ipconfig /flushdns
- Reregisters the NetBIOS name and IP address with WINS using the command
nbtstat -RR
- Reregisters the computer name and IP address with DNS using the command
ipconfig /registerdns
this article gives us good information & there may be possible of solving this problemes
Sorry to be a pedantic nit-picker, but Repair does not run the mentioned commands, but performs their equivalent function. Existing text might give readers the impression that Repair is running these commands from a hidden command prompt.
I think it was a good article. I would like to know what to do when it says: "following reparing actions failed: ip-adress renews and cleaning DNS cache memory".
