RE: [ActiveDir] Net work repair in XP SP2

Specifically, what the repair task does on Network Connections is synonymous typing IPCONFIG /RELEASE, then IPCONFIG /REGISTERDNS It really is nothing more than checking the stack, ensuring that it’s communicating, and in the event that you get your address from DHCP, it initiates a renewal of the address from DHCP. There really isn’t all that much magic behind that button – it’s simply the ‘Average User’ approach to using the command line.

Occasionally, they will have bad connections or some of the drive mappings fail.  When we perform repair, logoff and logon everything works normally. I tried to do it manually using NBTSTAT.  Is this process purging DNS cache?  Is there anyway to prevent DNS cache? It may be a dumb question, can you guide me where to look for more light? Thanks, Rao/..
