Having problems with my Eee coming out of sleep and needing to reset the network adapter to get a connection.

The old Vista diagnostics were much better, in that it gave you the option to reset your adaptor at the end. It now seems that Win7 runs a diagnostic but doesn't actually do anything - and doesn't give you an option to reset. The additional options is useless as well as it just links to help articles.

Has anyone found a quick and easy way to reset a network adapter without going into Manage network connections or using IPCONFIG?

TIA
 
Thanks guys, as per first post I'm already using IPCONFIG - and if that's the only way will create a batch file.

It's pretty annoying that they've actually made this harder in Vista and again in Windows7 - can't remember exactly it's so long ago - but in XP you'd just right click the network icon and reset it.
 
No worries theheyes, thanks for taking the time to reply in the first place :)

Actually decided to put an icon to the network adapter on the taskbar so I can enable/disable using that. Like you said ipconfig is not 100% solving the problem every time.
