well i have a long problem so please dont stop looking at this because you see the length. Not to many people can help me with this, but i know someone out there knows what the *censored* there talkin about.
the problem
I have 2 computer. They are hooked up threw a router, that is connected to a cable modem. One computer works, the other does not. On the computer that does not work it says when i check the status of the connection that it is running at full speed, and is sending out packets, but it is NOT recieving any packets. that is where the first problem is. So in order to fix this problem i called IT. They told me a solution of going to "RUN - CMD " they then proceded to tell me to reconfig my ip adress, when i went to do that it said i was missing a socket or the IT guy told me what to do in order to fix the bad files. And he gave me instructions. HE told me to go to "RUN - REGEDIT " Here is where the other problem comes in. When i try to do that it only comes up for a second, and then it will close by itself. I also notice this problem when i push Ctrl Alt Del. and then go to the task manager that i will come up for half a sec and then close. So if anyone has read this hole thing has any idea of what to do please help me. I am running a laptop on windows 2000. please.......... help
