[luau] Network problem

[Ted Kanemori]

Just an idea: might try to see what's still working.
I would try creating a "hosts" file in the windows directory. In it you
can add the ip addresses and names of a few known hosts that are on the
same network.
ie.
192.168.1.151	main
192.168.1.160	freddy
Then try to ping main and try to ping freddy. 
Can it resolve the name to an ip address?

Reinstalling the TCP/IP is the first thing I did.
