Good step, fellow skunk. What is the output of the following command, run from your CLI: ipconfig /all Does it list any "functional" and reachable (as in you can ping) DNS servers? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.

Good step, fellow skunk.
What is the output of the following command, run from your CLI:
ipconfig /all
Does it list any "functional" and reachable (as in you can ping) DNS servers?
