No internet connection

[LinZ01]

Can you tell me what "The remote device or resource won't accept the connection" means and if/how I can fix it?
I apologize if I'm in the wrong place.

Hi!
I honestly don't know where to begin with your instructions. I really appreciate your having gone to all that trouble but I just don't understand what to do. Opening PowerShell is not a problem but from that point on I am lost.
Thanks so much

Hi!
Unfortunately this didn't work. When I start my browser my email accounts load just fine but I can't do anything with any of the messages. AND, no websites load. (Hmmm... can't reach this page
The connection was reset. etc)
Thanks for your help!
