    Help...I can't get on the internet.
    « on: September 01, 2009, 07:00:37 PM »
    I've really messed up this time.  I couldn't get any videos to run smoothly so I started trying all kinds of things to fix that and now I can't get on the internet.

    I have a router and 2 laptops in the house are working fine.  My Local Area Connection is saying I'm connected but sent packets say 43 and recieved packets say 0. 

    So far I've...

    changed things on registry editor (1st I backed up original registry but now when I try to get it back, a message pops up saying error, can't be accessed.)
    I unplugged cable modem and router and plugged them back in.
    uninstalled adobe flash player and reinstalled it.
    gone to computer management and disabled messenger and telephony.

    Please help me get back online.

    I have Windows 2000 Professional

      I was never able to fix the video problem.
      I have 132MB RAM.
      I don't have hardly any fragmented files, doesn't need defrag.

      I'm afraid I messed up my registry since I'm not able to restore it back to original settings.  I must have done something wrong when I tried to back it up. Could this be it?

          When I get to system tools I have nothing that says system restore.  I have backup, character map, disk cleanup, disk defragmenter, getting started, scheduled tasks, and system information.

            I thought Windows 2000 had system restore, but just found out it doesnt. Havent used 2000 in a while. Anyway, go to start-run-and type in cmd. Then the command prompt comes up. Type in ipconfig. Please post the results

              go to your control panel and double click network connections. right click on your internet connection and hit repair. This will repair your internet connection, since the IP is at 0.0.0.0 Hope that Helps!
