Resetting your network adapter in Windows 7

    Network shell (Netsh) is a tool an administrator can use to configure and monitor network devices on Windows based computers at a command prompt. A common use of Netsh, is to reset the TCP/IP stack back to default settings.
    But not only will Netsh reset the TCP/IP stack, but it can also completely reset your network adapter(s). It will also reset the Windows Firewall in Windows 7too.
    USING NETSH IN WINDOWS 7
    To use Netsh, you will need to open a Command Prmpt as an administrator. There are two ways to do this:
    • Click the Start button, then All Programs, then Accessories, then right-clickCommand Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    or
    • Click the Start button. In the search box, type Command Prompt, and then, in the list of results, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    NETSH COMMANDS IN WINDOWS 7
    The following is a list of the Netsh commands you can use to reset your Windows 7 network adapter:
    Restores the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security policy to the default policy. The current active policy can be optionally exported to a specified file. In a Group Policy object, this command returns all settings to not configured and deletes all connection security and firewall rules.
    netsh advfirewall reset
