I am looking for a batch file to REFRESH my high speed internet connection by using the ipconfig/release-renew dos commands. I WOULD like a shortcut on my DESKTOP (WinXP) to run this program.

Here's an example ip.bat:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
pause

Any advice appreciated.
Thanks



What, specifically, are you trying to do?I asked this question on another forum.

With XP/Dos command.. I switch between wired and wireless network connection. What is the dos command that will reset and recognize my network connection without restarting my computer?

I would like to create the batch file mentioned in the response.

Thanks.

If you have only one ADAPTER then the /release and /renew switches are OK. With more than one adapter, those switches need to know which adapter to release and renew. You can use /release_all and renew_all, which will release and renew all of the adapters. This might cause a problem if one of the adapters does not find a DHCP server. You can simplify things a BIT by downloading a MS utility called wntipcfg from Microsoft. It works like the winipcfg utility in W98. After you have it installed you can place a shortcut to it on the desktop. With a few mouse clicks - presto chango - a single adapter or all adapters.Thank you for the direction, greatly appreciated.
