Restart Tcp Ip Stack «CONFIRMED»

In older operating systems (Windows XP and Server 2003), the TCP/IP stack was managed by a specific service that could be stopped and started independently. In modern Windows architectures (Vista+), the TCP/IP driver ( tcpip.sys ) is a kernel-mode driver. It cannot be stopped while the OS is running. Therefore, a "restart" of the stack requires a registry reset and a system reboot.

This command rewrites the TCP/IP registry keys to their default values. It effectively re-installs the TCP/IP protocol driver. restart tcp ip stack
