netsh was able to apply a static address, but wasn't able to set a DNS.
So I can ping all my machines by address, but can't get past the router
because theres no dns set.
And this is windows 10 HOME EDITION, so there is no place to "run as
admin" in the start menu's.
Next? And I'm beat, I've been outside aiding and abetting tearing my
yard all to h--- with a medium size Kubuto hoe. Finding 3 more places
where the 40 yo black waterline was leaking, so we dug all the way to
the house and found the final leak in some galvanized fittings some
idiot used to make the connection between the black plastic and the
copper entering the house. 40 years ago. Fun and games NOT. If the guy
was still living, I'd consider an Alaskan divorce, well worth the cost
of the cartridge. He was famous for cutting every corner he could.
Anyway, in Home Edition of W10, how the heck do you get admin rights?
Many thanks to all that have tolerated me so far, its very much
appreciated.
