I had a problem where shutdown took an age, web browsing dropped to a crawl and I was unable to reach most websites.
I could reach and open files on my local network NAS drive fine but COULD NOT do the following: connect to my router or any other node on my local network 192.168.1.* , or login to my router.
I COULD ping my local network
I COULD tracert a remote website by url or IP address...
So, I figured it's a TCP/IP problem.
Issuing the "netsh int ip reset" and "netsh winsock reset catalog" commands cured the problem immediately
MY QUESTION is: Fixing the problem is one thing, but what would have been the likely CAUSE of the problem, and what action is recommended if it becomes something I have to do more often? Thanks!
