Batch file equivalent to the good old "Repair" option for network card found in XP
One of the Windows XP features I really liked was the ability to right-click on a wireless card or NIC in my system tray (notification area) and select "Reset." This quick-and-easy trick often fixed stubborn wireless connections. I think Microsoft abandoned this feature with Vista. (It definitely isn't present on my Windows 7 machine.) Anyway, I'd love to create a little batch file that I can run on Windows 7 machines that takes the same steps. Here are a few commands that might be part of this batch file:
REM -- Flush the arp cache --
netsh interface ip delete arpcache
REM -- Release and renew IP's --
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
Are these reasonable? What am I missing?

At least in Windows 7 you can right click on the networking symbol in the taskbar, and then you have an option to "Troubleshoot Problems". With that you can try fixing networking issues.

I've had some success with "Troubleshoot Problems." I'd say more often that not, it doesn't get me anywhere.

VB Script
VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
