We have four machines at home. All connected to a switch and getting out on the net using ICS on my machine.

When I'm playing online I right click the LAN icon and disable it so the kids/wife dont eat all the bandwidth. When I'm finished I enable it.

Quite often after this the other machine just cant get back on the net. If you do a right click/repair the it may work. Otherwise you have to set it up all over again.

Why does this happen and has anybody got any better ways of disabling the network. ( Dont say pull the plug, the switch is a pain in the rear to get to as is the back of my machine :) )
 
when i had that problem i had 2 shortcuts on the desktop

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

used to sort it for me without having to look too deep into the problem.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
