It could be a setting on your router or damage to the network cable that's giving you the problem....

First Check your cable for any damage. Usually, the most common cable to go bad is the short cable coming from the router to the computer.

If the cable is ok... try rebooting your router by either turning off the power or unplugging it for 10 seconds, then turn it back on.

If that doesn't work, Contact your ISP and see what they suggest...

Trying to restore my network connections back to default


RE: I enabled a static ip address do i need these settings or - Britec - 01-07-2017

Here is a bunch of commands you can use to reset your network settings to default.

You can reset the TCP/IP Stack (Winsock) this way.


1. Open Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator.
2. At the command prompt type commands below and press Enter.
3. Restart your PC for the changes to take effect.

ipconfig /flushdns

netsh int ipv4 reset
netsh int ipv6 reset
netsh winsock reset
netsh int reset all
netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh int ip reset reset.log
nbtstat -R
nbtstat -RR
