Hi all,

Helping with a Vista computer. Connected to router, valid IP, sending and receiving bytes. Cannot connect to web or ping urls (but can ping ip).

Classic winsock DNS problem, right? Usually will run lspfix and/or winsockfix on XP and problem solved.

But......what about Vista? I can't find a compatible tool for Vista.

Can you reset the tcp/ip stack in Vista with the same commands as XP? (netsh....)

Thanks for any advice.
