You are being emotional rather than dealing with reality. Did you also do what Shawnee did? If not, then reading was wasted time. You cannot read this stuff and learn. As I noted, the reasons why were intentionally not provided because those reasons why come AFTER do the work. Nothing here was complex. Enter some commands. See some results. Learn what those results mean later. But many want immediate gratification only by reading.
Just like in Science lab. If you did not execute Command Prompt, then you have no idea what Shawnee learned. If you did not do IPCONFIG or PING, then there was no reason to provide additional information. That’s not condescending. In short, if you only read, well, welcome to technology - you learned nothing.
People who do not fix things are poor at breaking problems into parts – making problems easier to solve. Too many want an instant solution. An experienced problem solver first finds a defect – fixes things later. Another famous sound byte that says the same thing: Patience, grasshopper.
That may be condescending to those who don't do the work. Silly emotion is not relevant. Fact. Either you do what Shawnee did or you learned almost nothing from this thread. In which cause, you could only become emotional - and therefore 'feel' condescendence.
Your choice. Did you do as mbpark suggested? Did you enter “netsh winsock reset”? If you feared you might break something, then did you post, “Can I do this without breaking something?” Learning by doing is that simple; not condescending. Nothing useful could have been learned by only reading. But that also is obvious from doing rather than only reading.
Of course you have no idea what is being said if you also did not execute those programs yourself. I know that. You apparently did not only because you did not execute those programs.
In a parallel thread, GIF is discussed. Did you understand those posts? Only if you also did the lab work. If you did not execute the program, then you had little grasp of that discussion either.
