Sorry, wtf is this...... "If you are using a router or your IP has not changed on your modem then the addresses may not have changed." how are you just gonna leave half the people reading this hanging.... If you are going to make a guide please do it all the way and the correct way. i doubt this has helped more than 10% of the people who looked at this...
and for the other people, if the CMD says you need permission to do the action you are trying to do. you have to exit out of the cmd, right click it and "Run as Administrator" |

Doesn't right clicking on your "Network Connection" and choosing "REPAIR" achieve the exact same things in fewer, less-complicated steps?

Here is what I found on Microsoft's website.
The following actions are taken if you select the Repair option on a LAN or high-speed Internet connection. NOTE: The actions occur in the order that they are listed. A corresponding command is listed next to each action. • Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) lease is renewed: ipconfig /renew • Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache is flushed: arp -d * • Reload of the NetBIOS name cache: nbtstat -R • NetBIOS name update is sent: nbtstat -RR • Domain Name System (DNS) cache is flushed: ipconfig /flushdns • DNS name registration: ipconfig /registerdns |
