Reset Winsock and the TCP/IP stack

Resets several Windows networking components when connectivity remains broken after basic checks.

Moderate riskAdministrator rights may be required

Command

ipconfig /flushdns netsh winsock reset netsh int ip reset echo Redemarrez ensuite l'ordinateur.

When to use it

Reserve this for persistent network, Winsock catalog, or corrupted TCP/IP configuration problems.

How it works

  • flushdns clears the DNS cache.
  • winsock reset rebuilds the Winsock catalog.
  • int ip reset restores default TCP/IP settings.

Precautions

  • A restart is required.
  • Record static IP settings and any custom network configuration before running the commands.

Rollback

Restore any static IP and DNS settings manually if the computer used them.
