Okay, I'm in way over my head here. I've been browsing forums for about a week now looking for a solution to my problem, but I can't fix it.
Last week I was browsing the internet when I lost my connection. I tried using the repair command under local are connection>support, but it can't renew the IP address. So then I tried command prompt ipconfig/release then renew, and it says, "an error occurred while renewing interface local area connection : the support for the specified socket type does not exist in this address family."
I did ipconfig/all and here's what I got:
C:\Documents and Settings\Spencer_2>ipconfig/all
