echo Testing basic connectivity.
echo.
ping google.com > %TEMP%\pinglog
REM Changes directory into where we need, and pings Google while tempsaving the output.
find "Reply from" < %TEMP%\pinglog > nul
if not errorlevel 1 echo We can connect to Google.com! This signifies all is good with your connection.
REM Perfect connection :D
find "Request timed out" < %TEMP%\pinglog > nul
if not errorlevel 1 echo Couldn't connect, your connection timed out! I'd recommend you refresh the page and try again!
REM Usually this means is that their server is slow. Usually.
find "Unknown host" < %TEMP%\pinglog > nul
if not errorlevel 1 echo Couldn't connect, unknown host! This means the site is new and we don't know their IP address.
REM Oh noes! You found a new site! That's why DNS and IP won't match up... not for the next little bit at least.
find "could not find host" < %TEMP%\pinglog > nul
if not errorlevel 1 echo Couldn't connect, your connection can't find the host. This means that you're not connected to the internet. Most likely your ISP is down or your wireless card cannot get a clear signal.
REM Connect to the internet or check your cables. Chances are good it's one or the other.

netsh interface ip delete arpcache

echo Reinstalling TCP/IP protocol...
netsh int ip reset %TEMP%\resetlog.txt
echo Done. You must restart your computer for the changes to take full effect
echo.
goto :menu
REM I hate netsh. It requires admin account and everything needs a computer restart. But sometimes it's the only way out
:api

echo.
echo You NEED to have administrative privillages to run this command.
SET /P CONTINUE=Continue (y/n):
IF /i {%CONTINUE%}=={n} (goto :menu)

echo Resetting Winsock API...
netsh Winsock reset
echo Done
echo.
goto :menu
REM winsock is the interface programs use to access the TCP/IP stack. Sometimes a layered service provider(LSP) will fit between the winsock and TCP/IP layers. This should fix how winsock deals with that extra LSP
