I know you're all going to snicker when you read this question but remember (please) I'm on heavy duty pain drugs. What is the command to renew and release all network connections?
A friend of my wife's brought a Presario F700 with Vista Premium that cannot connect wirelessly and I cannot even get it to connect via ethernet. sometimes being perpetually stoned had its drawbacks
Thanks

In between the release and renew commands I like to throw in ipconfig /flushdns.
