heeellooo???

You changed it to "help networking problem" in a networking forum? You just don't get it, do you?

And to top it off, it's not a networking problem! It's a problem from doing something that there are plenty of warnings about not doing (including in the link that I gave you) and result of ignoring those warning has often been your reported experience over all the years that this website has been trying to offer advice. (I didn't know that when I made my first post because the subject line was so lame that I didn't even read the post).
