     From a cmd prompt...
    netsh int in reset >> resetlog.txt
    Will reset your TCP/IP stack.

    It also sounds like you may have a LSP hijack.
    Check HKLM\local
    machine\services\currentcontrolset\paramters\namespacecatalog \catalog
    entries\
    there should be 3 entries. If four or more, use LSPfix to get rid of the
    extra.
