yes its a lan, its configured right. i don't write scripts, and i don't mess with the permissions (java, i'm assuming)

one day it worked the next it didn't.

its kinda funny. i read an article in maximumpc about one of the programs one of their editors recomended and it caused the same thing. i laught at it. thougth to myself what kind of dumbass could screw up windows update. guess we know the answer to that now
