I have a problem with Internet connection. After I browse internet via
Internet Explorer for 5-10 minutes, things get hosed, I can not get to
websites anymore.
..
Rebooting model or router does not help.
I have to reboot computer. That is very annoying and takes a lot of
time.

Is there a command that I can execute in DOS, that will achieve the
same thing but faster, so when I am in trouble I can execute this
command?

Regards

Sounds like either a problem with the network interface or a problem
with software. If it were mine I'd throw another network card in it
and see if that helps.

Sounds like you may have a trojan or hijack program affecting your PC - you
say things get hosed and you can't get into websites - can you give more
info? Do you have any lots of pop-ups? Anything running in the taskbar like
'Titan Shield'?
 
That was my first thought. Finding a way to deal with it quickly is like
treating the symptoms of a disease, rather than the disease itself.
Regardless of Windows flaws, you shouldn't have to reset your network
connection even on a daily basis.

To the OP, you could try the command line IPCONFIG/RELEASE followed by an
IPCONFIG/RENEW. In XP, you can also try the "Repair" option on the network
connection (Control Panel->Network Connections. Right click on the one
you're using (if you have more than one) and you should have a Repair
option).

Hi,

Read all this. I had two similar problems.

(1) My son's PC wasn't able to connect to Internet. I tried all
anti-virus software demo versions I could get my hands on. Still NOK
(don't do that, choose one). Did same with all the antispywares (this
you can do). This did work.

In fact the spyware tried to pass thuogh a "proxy" site before
redirecting to the site in the url. Only the proxy site was probably
closed. (The proxy site probably was there to spy on what was sent,
passwords, CB codes, etc).

(2) The IP layer on another computer crashed. I tried all queer
IPCCONFIG, reset, whatever commands on the web. There are many. There
is no way apparently to reinstall apparently. I finally reinstalled
windows + SP2 (several evenings killed because of crappy Microsoft) and
it worked.

If the IP layer went down, you can see it by ipconfig /all. This should
give you at least a port with an IP address. Then you can try pinging
another comuter on the LAN, or your router if you have one. Should be
192.168.0.1 for the router and 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.254 for another
computer.
