asked on

what does the netsh winsock reset command do?

Hi Everyone:

      Before finally getting all of my DSL problems resolved, a technician from Microsoft requested a run the following command after going to Start, Run, and type cmd:  The command is netsh winsock reset.  Does this command simply delete winsock and rebuild it?

      Any thoughts on this question will be appreciated.

      Thank you

Hi Everyone:

        Many thanks for clarifying this for me.  I especially found the followup examples and illustrations helpful in capturing the technical significance of using the netsh winsock reset command.  I can easily see how useful such a command can be when having trouble with internet connectivity.

         Thanks again.
