Useful commands and functions for the DAW user

After some furious posting regarding tools and programs for the DAW operator, I will now turn my attention towards useful commands and functions of the operating system.

Firstly, networking:

ipconfig /flushdns (flushes the DNS cache and causes new DNS/IP bindings to be downloaded)
arp - d (deletes MAC/IP bindings on the local network)
netsh winsock reset (Resets the Windows Sockets layer if undiagnosable network problems occur)

The above commands may need to be run from a command prompt with Administrator privileges but be careful not to use the last command too often or you may find you will need to reinstall your IP layer in Windows.

Happy Cubase users :slight_smile:
