I am here for more questions, Angel, if you want to ask.
Thanks so much. ^___^
One more question (prefaced by an anecdote): I was fixing my mom's W8 laptop last night. Somehow it went from being fine, to having its DNS settings changed without my knowledge while I was testing a website for my upcoming interview. Windows ran an update while I was testing and needed to reboot. After the reboot, it only had limited connectivity; it could connect to the router and access the admin panel of the router, but not go beyond.
It's been over a year since I did tech support for this sort of thing so I was having to really dig my brains for my old skills. It didn't help me that the laptop was slow (Suffice it to say that when I try to help her by removing awful memory and clock cycle hogs, she gets upset because she "uses" them) and pumping out a lot of heat and making me hot.
Most of what was frustrating me, though, was the inability to create a new network connection from scratch. I suppose this isn't a big deal for most people, but several of my neighbours and myself hide our SSIDs, and I didn't want to play musical chair guessing games with the various "Hidden Network"s in the list; I just wanted to add a new network and build it from scratch.
Less frustrating was when I finally remembered "Oh yeah, let's go play with the IPV4 settings" I was able to find it with relative ease and see that something had changed the DNS from dynamic to static.
Allllll of that said, how easy is it to create a new network connection? Can you "add" or when you go to manage the connections does it only give you a "Choose which connection to forget" option like Windows 8?
Is finding and accessing the IPV4 properties still easy, or have they obfuscated it within a frustrating labyrinth?
