Mas7er Broda Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I think it has something to do with a bug in the new Windows 10 update that just came out. If you recently updated windows 10 this is probably why. It happened to me and I called my isp and they just had me do a few simple commands in the command prompt window and it worked. Basically flushed my DNS cache I believe? If you google windows 10 update bug invalid ip you'll find a work around if you don't want to call your isp.

slashformayor Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Apparently it's been doing the rounds for a while. If you run into the same problem again, try this below (it works 99% of the time for me): Press windows button + 'X' on the keyboard, choose "Command prompt (admin)". Type netsh winsock reset press enter, then type netsh int ip reset and press enter. You can close the prompt and it should fix the problem. If not you could open another command prompt screen and go through the ipconfig /release, /flushdns, /renew etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
