Was I not supposed to do it in command prompt?

Yeah.

I get something similar to your problem like every month or so. All I do is turn off the computers and unplug the router and modem, wait about a minute and then hook them all back up.

I would but they say they can come and fix it themselves but then I don't want to call them so many times to my place, and I hate to let anyone touch my comp and when they do things to it that I don't understand I don't feel good.

    If you're not using a home router, then your computer probably has a "public" internet address (IP address) assigned to it.  A public internet address can be accessed from anywhere in the world.  I believe the Computer Host forum asks (suggests?) that you not post your public IP address to minimize unsolicited probes and attacks against your home network (basically against you personally).

    If you're using a home router, it gets the public IP address assigned to its internet interface and either it or you assign private IP addresses to the computers on your home network (which connect to the Local Area Network (LAN) interface of the router).

    If you post the output from "ipconfig /all", you should edit out any "public" IP address.  The private IP address is less of a concern because the attacker would need to know the "public" IP address to reach you.  If someone has internet connection issues, it's not unreasonable to ask for the output of "ipconfig /all"; but then again I operate from behind a home router.

    That being said, many members of this forum also choose not to display their age, location, or gender.

    There's a program out there which is described as a last resort for connection problems caused by file / registry corruption.  We need to see what's on the Microsoft site.

    If it was my own computer, I might take a flyer on it, and take chance on the fix.  I will not at this point recommend it to you.

    Winsock fix won't break anything. If Windows configuration is correct it'll do just nothing.

    HERE is a Microsoft page on the topic -- it's ugly.   ;)

    I was just being (overly) cautious, based on some descriptions I read that said the down loadable product was good, but not actively supported.

    Good -- Snapfiles is where I was looking, too.  I just wasn't confident enough to "say" Run it! and then have someone come back and say, "It's worse now."   :o
