Thanks a lot czar and echoes though things didnt get better last night.. but surprisingly it's working this morning. I just found out that if you get more than 3 violation notices then your computer is disconnected for 24 hrs... I think that was the reason why I couldn't get into the network yesterday cuz i had got 4 violations.. anyways.. it's working now but I still can't run my antivirus software, it says some kind of .dll file is missing.. so I am scanning my computer using online sources.. hope that works.. la ta, I will keep you updated until my problems are fixed.. thanks again, Hope you all have a good day, later, nakkali
