Hi Rick
Many thanks for your help.I carried out your steps from an elevated command
and in spite of a few problems can now access the internet normally.So tks
again.
/flushdns was carried out sucessfully but both /release and /renew resulted
in a lot of information headed by "An error occurred while releasing
interface Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1 : the system cannot find the file
specified."
Any idea what this means? I just wonder if I have ended with a temporary fix
and still have problems.Anyway an thoughts would be appreciated.
