Occasionally on my Windows 8.1 the ethernet connection goes to "connection limited" state and the net stops working.
However, the router is still connected to the net, because the connection still works when switching to WiFi.
Restarting the router does not help with the issue, only rebooting Windows fixes it, so apparently something goes wrong in the ethernet networking stack which causes it to stuck in "limited" state which reboot fixes.
Is there a way to fix this without rebooting the computer?
