Resetting Network Adapters and TCP/IP Stack

To reset network adapters in Windows, you can use the Command Prompt with administrative privileges. Here's how:

1. Open Command Prompt as an administrator. You can do this by searching for "Command Prompt" in the Start menu, right-clicking on it, and selecting "Run as administrator."

2. In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter:

netsh winsock reset

This command resets the Winsock catalog to a clean state.

3. After executing the above command, restart your computer.

Additionally, if you want to reset TCP/IP stack, you can use the following command:

netsh int ip reset

Again, restart your computer after running this command. This will reset the TCP/IP stack back to its default settings.

After the restart, your network adapters should be reset, and any network connectivity issues you were experiencing may be resolved.
