While I was working on my computer (she's very old in the tech world) I happend to do something wrong as I was trying to make it run faster for a little bit longer. Anyways it no longer will show that its connected to the internet. It is not wireless but all other computers work of the router, to which it is plugged into. What can I do to get the connection back?
You may have either uninstalled your NIC driver or disabled the device. Go to control panel then Network Connections and tell us what you have. You should have a local area connection. If so then right click it and see if there is an enable.
I was deleating unused programs (they did not seem vital, but I guess they were) aside from the tool bar on the side, it is empty. There are no likes or tabs there.
Open a command prompt ( Start / Run / cmd ) and type in:
ipconfig /allPost the result.
Were would I find a command prompt? I tried putting those in under "run" in the start menu but no go.
In the RUN box type cmd
that will open a command box. type the ipconfig /all command there and post back the resultsGoin' Fishin' (Some day)

Try to disable the autoconfiguration service and restart your computer.
Then post a new ipconfig /all
Where will I find the autoconfiguration service?
It a service named Wired AutoConfig Service.
You can get a list of services by clicking Start / Run and type in services.msc
Services's error states the following when I try to do anything with the Wired autoconfig (which it says is disabled by the way) "Configuration Manager: The Plug and Play service or another required service is not available." And now when I try to open up ipconfig / all it comes up for less then a second and then goes away.
You first have to run CMD at Start / Run.
In that small black window you have to type:
ipconfig /all
No changes could be made because of the service error which I spoke of. The ipconfig /all still looks like this... Windows IP Configuration

Already tried using another LAN cable?
Changing the port at the router?
I just did now and its a no go. The cord was directly from the modem to the computer as well.
"The cord was directly from the modem to the computer as well." Therefore, you have to make the authentication for your internet account locally at that computer.
Did you?
Yes, there was no change.
