cmd /k ipconfig /displaydns to display DNS

cmd /k ipconfig /flushdns to flush DNS

make 2 seperate bats so you can see your recent activity if you want to without it wiping your DNS out first

save as DNS.bat etc

Thanks to your idea, I created my own file. (I took out the ascii graphics in the Menu’s).

@echo off
title NETWORK RESET SCRIPT
:prompt
color 1f
cls
echo NETWORK RESET SCRIPT
echo.
echo Type r to Reset Network
echo Type p to do a ping test
echo Type c to go to Command Prompt
echo Type q to exit
set /p answer=
if ‘%answer%’ == ‘r’ goto test
if ‘%answer%’ == ‘R’ goto test
if ‘%answer%’ == ‘C’ goto cmd
if ‘%answer%’ == ‘c’ goto cmd
if ‘%answer%’ == ‘q’ goto quit
if ‘%answer%’ == ‘Q’ goto quit
if ‘%answer%’ == ‘P’ goto ping
if ‘%answer%’ == ‘p’ goto ping

Wow, thanks for sharing this with us. I created one on my computer and it worked like a charm. I love the menus and even the change of color.

Hi, I just created the refresh.bat with your instructions and found out that it does not work if I just double click it in Vista. I have to actually right click and use the ‘Run as adminstrator’ option to get it to work.

Is there any way around this? I do not want to diable my UAC function in my Vista, just thinking of creating something like a special permission thing for this particular refresh.bat.

Thanks!

add this to the front of the batch file:

runas /user:local\administrator

it will prompt you for the admin password. It just does the run as part for you.
