Can't Install IE On Win2000 SP4

[patrickc284]

I called SBC and went through entering the IP address and everything and it still didn't work. All I can go is find my gateway and modem IP address by using the ipconfig command in a DOS prompt - somehow I don't actually get on the web, just to my modem?...

It's really strange - if I hook the ethernet up to my xbox, it works, hook it up to my computer, nothing.

In DOS Prompt I used the ping command and nslookup commaned for 64.233.1167.147. Using the ping command, all four packets were sent and received. With the nslookup command, homeportal.gateway.2wire.net said it couldn't find google because it was a non-existant domain.

What's the deal with that?

Add/Remove Programs isn't under Control Panel for some reason...I listed it alphabetically so I know I'm not just missing it. I googled this problem and came up empty.

I missed your earlier post where you said to type ipconfig /all.

It says:

Boot to disk and perform the Install Then the Repair.

More info:

"obtain an IP address automatically" and "obtain DNS server address automatically" under TCP/IP under Local Area Connection are both checked.

Both computers are hooked up to a DSL modem (a 2Wire Home Portal 1000HW).

ping google.com has all four packets received,

nslookup google.com gets the response,
Server: homeportal.gateway.2wire.net
Address: 172.16.0.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: google.com
Addresses: 72.14.207.99, 64.233.187.99

Internet Explorer is not running - I'm about 95% sure now that I have a bootleg copy of Windows 2000. It has no holograms of any sort - which the Microsoft website says should be numerous among other things.....
