I'm having problem starting my laravel installation. Whenever I type in the terminal php artisan serve, it throws me an error like below:

c:\wamp\www\blog>php artisan serve Laravel development server started on http://localhost:8000/

You should stop and start the winnat service. Open a cmd administrator and run the below commands.

net stop winnat

The Windows NAT Driver service was stopped successfully.

net start winnat

The Windows NAT Driver service was started successfully.

If you are using Node.js, Next.js, or other languages, you can resolve this problem without restarting the system.

You need command prompt to run as administrator, that solves the problem most of the time.

Change artisan serve port using this command 

php artisan serve --port=####

instead #### you can enter your own port number.

This will work sure.!

First make sure your installed Laravel properly in your local machine.
When you execute php artisan serve , you better to run it with administrative priviledges.
In linux, I use
sudo php artisan localhost:8888 -t public


Make sure other requirements such as php version are upto date.

PHP >= 5.5.9
OpenSSL PHP Extension
PDO PHP Extension
Mbstring PHP Extension
Tokenizer PHP Extension

For more information refer this document.
