Script Function
If you are on a network that frequently loses connection or simply forgets what intranet site you were trying to access and your usual solution is a reboot, then this tool may be for you.

In my environment, I am working with a Visual Studio 2008 IDE (Business Intelligence Development Studio - BIDS) along with Microsoft's Team Foundation Server (TFS). Sometimes I'll check out an item from TFS and before I get to update it, my connection will drop and my computer will say that it could not connect to either the TFS or my target deploy location.

I found a quicker fix than rebooting your computer which is to open a command prompt and to type "ipconfig /flushdns" then "ipconfig /registerdns" and the connections would have been restored. As I love automation and reducing processes to single-click fixes, I made this teeny tiny program to run the above commands and check the error levels.

Installation:
1) Decompress to a folder of your choosing
2) Run the EXE (there is no install process, it should just start)
3) Done!

ChangeLog:
v1.0 (22/11/2011)
- Display internal and external IP address
- Display flushdns errorlevel
- Display registerdns errorlevel
- Change color to green if successful, red if failed.
