Yeah, it’s entirely probable that a DNS Cache flush is done as well – and likely and ARP cache dump.  And as to the cache in registry, I’m looking but I don’t believe it’s in registry but in memory – same for ARP. 

I’ll let you know if I come up with something different, but this is what I know right now.

Thanks.

We don't use DHCP instead use static IP address.  I think the repair does little bit more than IPConfig.  We do not have any problem for few days and it comes again.

Does the workstation keeps DNS cache some place in the registry? If so can we stop it?  The DNS servers and workstation are in the same subnet.

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.

Hello, Can someone explain what exactly the "repair" will do in network connections?  I tried to fix the problems for two of our workstations.

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/..
