What does Command netsh reset do?

I had problems with my internet connection on my laptop before and I was told that if I reset something in my internet it might help. What exactly is netsh int ip reset do? When is it useful?
Thanks.

Using the NetShell utility you can reset the TCP/IP stack back to a original state, to the same state as when the OS was installed.
_Microsoft provides this info:_
The reset command (netsh) is available in the IP context of the NetShell utility. When you run the reset command, it rewrites pertinent registry keys that are used by the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) stack to reach the same result as the removal and the reinstallation of the protocol.

What does a hard reset clear out? / can't update O...

Hi,
I'd like to get my phone back to it's original state. But doing a hard reset won't do that really as I've updated the firmware since then for example and I'm pretty sure I'll have the same firmware after the reset.
My problem is that I get an "internal error" when trying to update the Ovi maps to 3.4 using Ovi suite. If I try to do it directly on the phone I just get a generic failure message with no information.
I've removed the existing Ovi maps from the application manager but I can still run Ovi maps! It's all gone a bit strange so I thought I'd reset but I don't think it's really going to clear everything out. So I might be back where I started but minus some of the things I wanted on my phone. So I'm not sure what a reset really does.
Any ideas how I can get out of this state?
Cheers.
Peter.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Right - I did a soft reset and tried to install Ovi maps 3.04. It told me to clear out some memory. I'd been doing that at the weekend by uninstalling applications but the main problem was 50Mb of "other files". So I only had about 8Mb free as there's around 25Mb of applications and misc other stuff (I'd moved my messages off there at the weekend).
So I did a hard reset and 3.04 has now installed. Of course - It'll now take me some time to get everything back the way it was!
Perhaps it was a lack of space on C: that was the problem all along. Not sure how I would have got rid of that "other files" space without a hard reset.

What does it mean,resetting of clearing document and reversing of clearing?

Hi SAPians,
Suppose my clearing doc.no is say 100000.if i reverse it thru fb08,system will generate new doc no.m i rite?and the accounting impact will be like debit items will become credit and viceversa.but my doubt is if i only reset the clearing doc.no by FBRA then what will happen and what will be the accounting impact ? and what will happen if i reset with reverse the clearing doc. and what will be the accounting impact?
Regards,
Sumeya offrin

Dear Sumeya,
You have written "my clearing doc.no is say 100000.if i reverse it thru fb08,system will generate new doc no.m i rite?"
You cannot reverse a cleared document in fb08.
Now let me answer you other questions.
Say for example you have posted a document no. 100005. Then using FB08, you Reverse it and a new CLEARING document no. is generated, say doc. no. 100006. So out here whatever entry posted in doc. no. 100005 gets reversed in document no. 100006. (ie. debit becomes credit & vice versa). This document no. 100006 is your clearing document. Now, both documents, ie. 100005 & 100006 contains no open items. Both documents are cleared against each other.
Now when you only reset the cleared document no. 100006, it becomes an open line item document. There are no financial impacts. But, when you reset and reverse the cleared document no. 100006, a new document number is generated, say for example, document no. 100007 which is a reverse entry of document number 100006. Most importantly, document nos 100006 and 100007 gets cleared against each other. Both, document number 100006 & 100007 are cleared documents. There is a financial impact out here and the original document no. 100005 becomes an open line item document.
It will be a little confusing if you read it once, but put this example on a paper & then analyse, am sure your doubts will be cleared.
Hope this helps.

Amit Maniar.

What does a PRAM Reset Actually Do?

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer any other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music

i have a screen with the apple logo on it and a bar underneath it. it has been this way for about an hour now. what does this mean and is there a way to reset the iphone without going into the store? it isnt showing in my computer or on the itunes page.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

What does this POSIX command find in a GREP style

Hello..
I was playing with the POSIX options in the GREP drop down menu and I was wondering what this one did?
[[:space:]]
I assumed it would find any whitespace..but it found nothing?
does anyone know what this command actually finds?
thanks!!
babs

Don't get mixed up in terminology Hexacolor? Presumably you meant Hexachrome®, which is a six colour process system from Pantone, Inc., rather than the standard four colours we all know and love.
That ain't got nothing to do with GREP though.
The xdigit GREP command is only of interest for programmers (and low-level ones at that), as it finds all digits of the hexadecimal system. "Hexadecimal" is like decimal, only more so: after counting from 0 to 9, hex goes on with A, B, C, D, E, and F, and only after that you need to add a digit for "10" (which consequentially stands for the decimal value "16"). The idea is that you can assign a simple value to each set of 4 bits, and because a single byte always consists of 8 bits, you only need two hexadecimal digits to represent any value for a byte, all the way from 0 up to 255.
... About the only use of hexadecimal is in the hard core field of low level programming. I don't think I've ever found [[:xdigit:]] useful in the field of text processing.

What does this command do? "$HOME/path/to/the/Folder/"

Hi,
What does the following command do?
$HOME/path/to/the/Folder/TEMP
If the TEMP file does not exist, will it create a new TEMP folder?
How can I check whether a "new TEMP folder" is created?
Thanks in advance.
Ed

So "$HOME/path/to/the/Folder/.DS_Store" will fill in the "path" that the .DS_Store is stored?
You fill in the path. That is to say, we do not know the folder you are interested in. And since there are thousands of folders (hundreds of thousand) on the Mac, the computer will not fill it in either. ONLY "You" know where the folder you are interested in lives. So you replace "path/to/the/Folder" with the correct information. Until then "path/to/the/Folder" is a place holder, and a way for me to give you the general idea of how to specify the path, without my actually knowing where the desired folder lives.
You build a path by stringing folder names together, separated by a forward slash / and if there are any spaces or punctuation characters in the folder names, you protect the full path name by enclosing it in quotes, 'stuff to protect goes in here'.
The option is to get out of the Terminal and forget it ever existed. 99.9999999% of Mac usage does not need the Terminal, and generally it is ancient programmers that grew up when 80 column punched cards were how you communicated with computers. That generation thinks a Terminal is advanced technology, and having noticed that the computer industry has moved on (and yes, I am one of them, and I actually make my living still using terminal emulators, but the rest of the world has moved on).
BTW, is it right that the "." will make the file "hidden"?
A file with a leading period in its name is a long standing convention from back in the '70's on Unix platforms that by default the 'ls' (list) command would not display files that started with a leading period unless' ls -a' was used. This was a way to put config files in a users home directory, but not clutter up the 'ls' output with things most users did not care about on a day-to-day basis. Over time, it was adapted as a way to hid files. The Mac "Finder" took up treating files with leading periods as hidden files.
The Mac "Finder" has other ways to indicating a file should be hidden via a "hidden" file attribute, which is used to hide standard system folders that users should not be playing with, such as the operating system files. Most Mac users never see them and do not care.
Can I check whether the directory or file exist from the Finder -> Mac HD or Finder -> Home?
If the file or folder does not have a leading period or the above mentioned hidden file attribute, the Finder can display, if you can navigate to the file or folder. Finder -> Go -> "Go to Folder..." can get you anywhere, assuming you can enter the /path/to/where/you/want/to/go/notation, or at least the beginning to get you started. Just entering / all by itself will put you at the top of the file system (called the root directory).
However, if a file or folder is hidden, the Finder will not display it, unless you play games with Finder hidden features that takes you back to Terminal commands and/or 3rd party utilities that can enable the Finder show all files mode.
NOTE: If you go exploring outside your home folder, please do not modify or delete things, or you could turn your Mac into a "Door Stop". A "Pretty", but very expensive "Door Stop".

TS2094 After resetting the pram, the screen only shows a folder with a question mark inside. What does this mean?

I followed the initial steps in this post and reset pram. After restarting, the screen just shows a folder with a question mark. What does this mean?

Thanks Niel, I tried using Option and nothing happened so I next tried inserting the Leopard disc and rebooting while holding C. Nothing happened until the disc was ejected and then the folder with question mark reappeared. I inserted the disc again and at this point and it booted OSX. I tried to acess disc utility to repair but my harddrive wasn't listed, only the CD drive and the OS disc. Does this mean I'm lost everything?

What does this error message mean and how do I solve it? "Sorry, one or more of the following command-line tools was not found: /usr/bin/lsbom, /bin/pax, /bin/mkdir, /bin/chmod, or /usr/bin/update_prebinding."

When I try to open up this program, Pacifist, I receive this error message. Here's a screenshot. http://i.imgur.com/v717w.jpg What does this error message mean and how do I solve it?

It sounds like some of the Unix Executable commands were removed (or the permissions to those were modified) out of the /usr/bin/ folder. You can try opening disk utility and repairing permissions on Macintosh HD or you can reboot your computer and holding down option-r when it comes back up to reinstall Lion again. This will not delete your personal information or applications you have installed but it would be best to back it up to Time Machine before you do. The article on how to do this is here. (http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/) I have had to do this before and it works like a charm. It should fix your issue but grab a cup of coffee because its going to take about 35 - 40 minutes depending on how fast your computer is.

Desired activity: access a site that used to not have a SSL connection through the new https:// root domain. I can accomplish the task over a machine running Windows 7 or XP but flushing the dns of my mac does not affect the outcome — I am still redirected to the hosting provider's website whenever I tried to access the domain with a https:// prefix rather than http://
I tried sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder and it's older alternative but no luck.

In the terminal:
