Hats off to Chev65, the flush dns file works.....after 5 hours of a locked up PC this simple and focused solution worked....Thanks Chev65......

You are welcome Barth.

This .bat file does a bunch of things besides flushing the DNS.

I made an .exe version of that file which does the same thing without having to paste it into notepad, you only need to unzip and click this one.

Hello,

I just wanted to share what solved it for me. I tried everything mentioned in this post and nothing worked. I then decided to try sfc /scannow and it found and fixed system files, had to reboot and all is working now.

What file could have been deleted in the system or services? Can i download it online and install it again om my laptop? Can't fix it, tried the solutions i've read above.

Hello,

I have a similar problem and I have tried the following things:
- netsh winsock reset on CMD as administrator
- netsh int ip reset all on CMD as administrator

- when I do ipconfig, my Ip adress is starting by 169. which is not a correct one and default gateway shows nothing
- Then I check my network adapter on Device Manager which is a Realtek pcie and the device is working normally

- I checked the viruses and there was one which I removed

- I finally did a system restore but I did not have old recent points

What else can I do?

Many thanks for your help.

Oh I forgot to mention that I did sfc /scannow and I did not have any issue

The problem is still there, I have updated the driver for my ethernet card as well. I don't understand, if there is anyone who could help, that would be great, many thanks, Pascal

Lets try flushing DNS cache and renewing your IP.

Flush the DNS cache and restore MS's Hosts file ...
Copy and paste these lines in Note pad.

@Echo on
pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
attrib -h -s -r hosts
echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
attrib +r +h +s hosts
popd
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset all
netsh int ip reset all
shutdown -r -t 1
del %0

Save as flush.bat to your desktop. Right click on the flush.bat file to run it as Administrator.

Your computer will reboot itself.

This worked for me, thanks chev65, you saved my sanity!

You are magic. Almost 4 yrs after your post and here I am spending hours up all night trying to figure out what went wrong and you command prompt worked! Thank god I didn't stop at the first 10 sites I came across and waste time going through the elaborate steps some other guys posted and instead tried your simple fix first!

Hi -
I realize this is a older post, but I joined here specifically to add to it. I had the exactly the same issue on one of the machines in my shop recently. (7 64) I tried every single suggestion in all 3 of these pages plus your usual solutions to throw at it. SFC, CHKDSK, Ccleaner, malwarebytes, combofix, hijack this, Avast, network adapter AIO reset and a few on top of this.
Here is what worked. I figured the problem was probably buried in the boot manager but not letting me get to it, normally I would take Hitman to it and resolve it, BUT Hitman will not run unless it can find a connection to the network. So, I created a Avast rescue disk on another clean machine and ran it on the boot. This found and cleaned a few more and booted the system back up, network was still down with the same proxy problem. At this point I ran the tweaking.com software and initiated the repair section of it and it finally corrected it. (one note, I did try to run the tweaking software prior to the Avast run, and it did not correct it)
Tweaking.com
I wish you luck and thanks for reading =)
