Hello
To reset the network settings, the Windows command is:
ipconfig /release "Local Area Connection"
To restore the network settings, use the following command:
ipconfig /renew "Local Area Connection"
Good luck

Hi,
which Windows?
if it's 9x, in the control panel, network, cards, you delete your local network card.
if that doesn't work, delete it in control panel/system.
and ... there you go!

The problem does not come from my connection (I have ADSL), I simply can no longer access my local network, but I can still go online. To regain access to my local network, I need to reconfigure my network, but I have to reset it to how it was after the initial installation of Windows. This problem is completely independent of my internet connection.

No, it's not at all, you just need to delete everything by hand, and keep:
1 - Client for Microsoft networks
2 - File and printer sharing for Microsoft networks
3 - TCP/IP protocol (and in properties, obtain an IP address automatically), and that's all for the base, what is there by default, I don't think ADSL uses other protocols, so you only need that.
For a little explanation, even though it's the same protocol that's used (TCP/IP), you can have multiple IP interfaces (IP addresses) for a single network card (which is different from the MAC address of your card, it's unique), you can see all the IP interfaces of your machine by typing ipconfig in a command prompt, you should normally see eth0, which means the default IP protocol, and lo, which is just something internal to your machine.)
To reset your machine to factory settings, that's another story, because I think ADSL (which I don't have, so I would have a hard time helping you), uses an IP address, an IP interface among the 3 (I don't think it uses multiple), what you can do is uninstall your ADSL, if that's possible (there should be an install CD, and reinstall it), remove the protocols, install an IP protocol and assign it a fixed address so that the machine is visible on the network (if you have some basics in IP addressing, otherwise, stay on automatic address), finally, redo the ADSL installation. There you go, that's how I would do it, now, maybe ADSL requires a particular IP interface if you have your ADSL connected to your network card and you are on a non-XP Windows system, you need to download and install the PPPoE protocol, otherwise, you just need to follow the installation.
There you go, I don't know if I've been clear from start to finish, because I gathered information myself, but if you have another question, don't hesitate.

Hello,
I'm having a problem with my new laptop. I had disabled the security on my Livebox to connect via Wi-Fi.
Once I was done, I intended to reactivate it. In the evening, when I tried to connect, it asked for the WEP key, which I entered, but it didn't work. Later, I disabled the security again, and now I can't connect at all...
I would like to know how to reset the connection settings to start from scratch.
Thank you.

Hello,
TCP/IP utility that displays the TCP/IP configuration parameters of the computer
This command is particularly useful on computers configured to automatically obtain an IP address. When used without parameters, Ipconfig displays the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway of all adapters.
The main parameters are:
ipconfig /all
Allows you to display all available information about active network adapters.
ipconfig /renew
Renews the DHCP configuration of all adapters.
Tip: If the ipconfig /renew command displays an error message... reset the TCP/IP protocol
http://www.libellules.ch/reinit_tcp.php
ipconfig /release
Allows you to release the current DHCP configuration and cancel the IP address configuration of all adapters
ipconfig /flushdns
Resets the content of the DNS client resolution cache.
This clears the DNS memory cache and allows, in cases where Windows has old DNS records in memory, to refresh them
ipconfig /displaydns
Displays the contents of the DNS client resolution cache.
ipconfig /registerdns
Initiates a manual dynamic registration of DNS names and IP addresses configured on a computer. You can use this parameter to resolve a DNS name registration failure or a dynamic update issue between a client and the DNS server without restarting the client.

Hi,
Well, I'm continuing to keep this post alive since I just solved my connection issue thanks to it.
Thanks kamalios for the procedure ;)
Actually, for me, the TCP/IP reset command as described on libellules.ch (netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt) had no effect.
But I noticed a message when I ran ipconfig/renew which was:
"An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket"
And I found the lifesaving procedure on the Microsoft site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817571/en
It describes how to reinstall the TCP/IP protocol.
Well, you have to go delete registry keys manually, which can be scary, but when you have no hope left and are ready to reinstall Windows... ;)
Oh, and forget the part about the 3.5" floppy disk... Personally, I did my backup on a local drive.
Maybe this could "save" someone someday...
Ciao

I was able to see the HDD of the Freebox V6.

Uh... actually, in my network properties, there are some weird things like a bunch of cards that are useless, and 3x TCP/IP, 3x remote access cards... and I can't see my network card. As soon as I delete one, I can't go online anymore (I share my connection, this PC is the client PC). So I would like to reset my network, because I can't see my IP address and I have a lot of network conflicts. Basically, I want to put it back to like new lol.

impossible to open a site; it keeps asking me to diagnose network problems: reset the network card "local area connection"
I have a solution for the issue, I hope Bruno has found it since it’s been a year ^^
I had the same issue, so I scratched my head a bit and then I tried a little thing
the CD from my supplier
a small driver that tells the computer it’s a modem from **** and boom, it worked
hoping this helps someone else
see you++
