Resetting connection?

[Dan]

Sometimes when I leave my work computer on over the weekend, I can't access
the internet properly (or even my lan-local email server). I can ping my
email server though. I have to reboot to get it working again. We don't
use DHCP at work, so I can't do the old "ipconfig /release" "ipconfig
/renew" thing. Is there any way to reset this without rebooting?

Cheers for any help,
Dan.

it could be the DNS issue. next time use nslookup command to check the status of the DNS.
