I have cable internet and I'm using a router. My connection was a bit spotty lately. I investigated a few things but couldn't figure out what was wrong. When I right clicked on the 'Local Area Connection 1' I chose 'Repair' just for the heck of it. It gave me a brief message basically telling me the problem was fixed, and it is! What did this do? Just curious.
