A little trick to avoid XP network restart pain

Many families apply for broadband Internet access, generally using an external ADSL Modem. Under the Windows XP system, if you turn on the Modem power after booting into the system, dial-up Internet often prompts you that the connection is unsuccessful. The solution to this problem is very simple. You can restart the system once. In fact, we can use the "ipconfig" command to save you from rebooting the system:

Click "Start → All Programs → Accessories → Command Prompt" to open a command prompt window. Enter the "ipconfig/release" command to return to release all connected IP configurations. Then, type "ipconfig/renew" to re-detect the network, and then you can go online.
