Using CMD to fix your non-static IP internet

[Wii]

For those of you that have DSL through a router and it often drops your connection to the internet, I have found a very simple solution. I have problems with my DNS server and IP etc but I found these simple commands for CMD.exe:
Start cmd.exe (run as admin in Vista)
type ipconfig /flushdns and press enter
type ipconfig /release and press enter
type ipconfig /renew and press enter (this may take a few seconds.)
Then exit cmd.
Note, not a permanent solution but is very simple.

A lot of people must have this problem because I keep reading about it.  I've never experienced it.

If if happens often would it work if someone made a batch file out of the commands?  Seems it would be a lot easier than manually typing all that gibberish.

Code: Select all

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
