Force Reset Network Adapter?
I'm not a big fan of the "Troubleshooting" options for network connections in W7 because, simply, they kinda suck.
Back in XP, when your network went down, due to lost power, or having to reset your router or modem, it was simple enough to tell it to repair, which would always reset the network adapter, to force a fresh connection, but I can't seem to find a way to just reset the network adapter. Did they take this feature out when they added the troubleshooting tool?
Honestly, they troubleshooting tool can take forever to "find the problem," even when I already know what's wrong and that a simple reset will solve the problem, not to mention sometimes it just decides that it's just not even going to try to reset the adapter.
I know I can always disable and enable the connection, but it's not the same right click the icon in the tray and select repair that it used to be. It gets annoying having to jump through hoops to do something that used to be two simple clicks, mostly trying to fix other people's computers.
