Easily Repair a Corrupt Internet Connection
Have you ever come across a computer that wouldn’t connect to the Internet after removing spyware or other network related software? Or maybe you can connect, but you can only visit certain sites while others time out. This problem is associated with winsock corruption in Windows XP. At this point most people reload the machine. Now you don’t have to. This utility has helped me a countless number of times so I would like to share it with you.
WinSock XP Fix is a utility that repairs winsock corruption in Windows XP. The utility is very easy to use. When you first run it, you will be asked to create a registry backup of your current registry settings. This is in case something goes wrong and you need to restore your registry. After this you will be prompted to apply the winsock fix. Once the fix has been applied, you can restart your computer. After the computer restarts, the connection will be repaired.

in XP/2003 you can also do this from the command-line
“netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt”
documented here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357

If your looking for a program to run the “netsh int ip reset” command automatically in the background.
Then download my Auto Repair Network Connection from megaupload.com/?d=HJDU7Y9M
100% Genuine
Enjoy!

The website in the above post popped up as a virus (trojan) in Avast:
megaupload.com/?d=HJDU7Y9M

the download from megaupload.com/?d=HJDU7Y9M is not a virus, avast shows the virus warning because it was scripted using vbscript, by default many anti-virus programs will alert due to the nature of the scripting language. all it does is send reset commands to netsh.exe every 60 seconds in the background

Here is the original script used to create the application from megaupload.com/?d=HJDU7Y9M
I have posted the code because the application was being reported as a virus.
I know it was never a virus and hope you accept my apologies.

copy and paste the following into notepad and save as Auto Repair Network Connection.vbs
MsgBox(“This application is provided without any warranty, either expressed or implied. * You run this application at your own risk! *”)
vB = MsgBox(“You are about to run ipconfig /renew (once) & then netsh int ip reset vLog.log (every 60 second’s) in the background”,1)
Dim vS , vF
Set vS = WScript.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
Set vF = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
If vB 1 Then
Set vF = Nothing
Set vS = Nothing
WScript.Quit(0)
Else
vS.Run “%Comspec% /c ipconfig /renew”, 0
WScript.Sleep 3000
Do
vS.Run “%Comspec% /c netsh int ip reset vLog.log”, 0
WScript.Sleep 60000
If vF.FileExists(“vLog.log”) then
vF.DeleteFile “vLog.log”

I usually get a reliable registry cleaner help to fix problems like these.
Since I started using this computer utility program I rarely had similar problems.
