Resetting your whole IP stack in Vista

Scott Hanselman had a useful blog post, listing steps to reset the whole network IP stack in Windows Vista. It solved my problem the first time, so I thought I would pass It along here.

Go to the Start Menu, type cmd and right click or (Ctrl + Shift and hit Enter), and select "Run As Administrator"
Type the following commands, each followed by pressing enter.

ipconfig /flushdns
nbtstat -R
nbtstat -RR
netsh int reset all
netsh int ip reset
netsh winsock reset

Or another helpful command:

netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

Hope this might solve any problems you might have with Vista's new networking stack.
