I'm student on a university network, and we have a rogue DHCP server
(probably a router some student hooked up wrong). Every so often the DNS
settings on our computers change to a 192.169.1.1 address. Either runnnig
the Connection repair feature, or unplugging and plugging in the cable again
restores the right settings, but it's annoying. Does anybody know of a way
to get Windows to automatically repair the connection when it changes? If
not, does anybody know how to write a script that will purge the Domain Name
System (DNS) cache, and reregister the DNS? The commands are ipconfig
/flushdns & ipconfig /registerdns I believe. Thanks
