I had to do some work from home today and was using a VPN connection to work when my laptop suddenly just turned off.
When I switched it back on I couldn't get any network connection at all. Running ipconfig resulted in absolutely nothing. But then I remembered listening to a show of Hanselminutes (I couldn't recommend this show enough btw) where Scott talked about tools you didn't know you already have.
The part I specifically remembered was about a command line utility called netsh. It lets you control your network settings from the command line. So the command I entered in my console was
netsh interface ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
That resulted in a logfile and after reboot my network was back to normal.
Thank you Scott :)
