Vista Internet Death
by Vince on Jun.30, 2009, under Computing
Over the past week or so, I had been experiencing a very poor internet connection on my main machine. Having just renewed my ISP contract with *ahem* AOL (it was cheap!), I was all ready to go postal on their useless support staff.
However, after a quick check with my laptop and newly acquired g1, I found the internet and wireless was working fine. Yesterday, any Internet connected applications were just failing completely, giving me the ‘xxx has stopped working’ dialog box. A quick search on the g1 came up with the following fix:
- Open up command prompt (start menu > search ‘cmd’)
- type in ‘netsh winsock reset’
Restart the machine, and everything was back to normal!
