I have a windows xp workstation on a dell optiplex machine.
I do some coding on it, and I have installed a Microsoft Virtual adapter (see network info below) and used netsh to map a port on the LAN IP to the private, virtual ip.
About 10 times a day, I seem to lose network connectivity for new connections (existing TCP/IP connections, such as Remote Desktop are not affected), but I cannot surf to new pages, etc.
Rebooting and disabling/enabling the LAN adapter worked to fix the problem. It also works to “Repair” the connection- but when I do, I get this error:
Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed:
Clearing the ARP cache
HEre is the output of:
