So, I have spent much of this weekend trying to sort out my mother-in-law's wired broadband connection via the BTHomeHub router. Not fun.
After a lengthy chat with their tech support they've decided to send someone out to inspect the network fault.
In the mean time, 'to get the internet to work', I've told the in-law to unplug the router and plug it back in, and then repair the LAN connection.
To make things easier I've created a batch file (on her desktop) which repairs the LAN connection automatically for her at the double click of a button.
I thought I'd record the .bat file here for my future reference and incase others might want do to the same.
@echo off
ipconfig /renew
arp -d *
netstat -r
netstat -rr
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
pause
Just open notepad and type in the above. Save the file with the .bat file extension and then just double click this file to repair your LAN.
