well i can but it seems like you seem to think it's a case of "ok here you go" and "i tried" and "you didn't follow my directions" scenario when i already said i tried. But in any case,i figured out how to turn off DHCP manually under services. I can try filling out that stuff you mentioned earlier that is if i can get the internet working after filling that in without DHCP. otherwise i'll have to go back to DHCP again. Remember i have a learning disability as i am autistic so i need a lot of patience.
