1. Well one of the important technique of getting rid to this problem is to use an in-built Windows 7 tool called IPconfig.It displays all current TCP/IP network configuration values and refreshes Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP and Domain Name System DNS settings. You can open this tool via the command line. This method is very helpful in case you have a weak or bad IP address.

• Type cmd in start search and press Ctrl-Shift-Enter.
• Type ipconfig /release to let go of the current IP address.
• Next type ipconfig /renew to obtain a new IP address.
• If you get an error Message When You Run the “Ipconfig /Renew” Command see KB810606.

NOTE: If you repeatedly face this problem, then you can have it renewed on every start-up, by creating the following .bat file and placing it in your startup folder.

Open notepad and type:

· ipconfig /release

· ipconfig /renew

· Save it as, say, iprenew.bat file.

2. Another reason for having internet explorer problems concerning it’s connectivity could b

e a corrupted DNS cache. Refreshing or flushing it out is a convenient solution to this problem. Follow these steps to get rid of this issue in Windows 7:

Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. Right click on it and ‘Run As Administrator’. Type the following and hit enter:

Ipconfig /flushdns

A confirmation dialog will appear on the screen:

“Windows IP Configuration. Successfully flushed

the DNS Resolver Cache.”

Next type ipconfig /registerdns and hit Enter.

This registers any DNS records that you or some programs may have recorded in your Hosts file. Moreover typing ipconfig /help will show the complete syntax for this command.

3. Another important method of fixing internet connection problem in Windows 7 is to use the the Network & Internet Diagnostic & Repair Tool of Windows 7. It will help you in identify the potential issues preventing network connectivity, and it automatically takes suitable steps toward correcting them. If a computer on the network loses Internet connectivity, you can graphically see which connection is down and then use Network Diagnostics to help determine the cause of the problem and find possible solutions.

To access it, open Control Panel > Network & Sharing Center. In the lower part, click on Troubleshoot Problems. From the window which opens, you can select Internet Connections or any other issue you want to troubleshoot and repair.
