Resetting the TCP/IP Stack in Windows

This can fix several types of network access problems.

Typing the following command at a command prompt resets the TCP/IP stack (all the programs that handle/filter packets on their way in or out of network interfaces) in Windows.  This can fix a myriad of problems with lack of access to the internet.  Warning: this will usually disable third-party firewalls.  To fix them usually you have to reinstall.
