Recently, I had some strange problem with a network interface inside Windows 2008. I managed to solve my problem only by reset the whole network IP stack in Windows 2008 (Those steps work in Windows Vista and Windows 7 as well). Here are steps:

  • 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


Alternatively, another helpful command that i mentioned in one of my old posts:

  • netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
