@george1421 Yes that fixed it! and yes i realize that both these errors imply that someone messed with my server. I may have unintentionally done it myself but i dont know when. i’m also doing all of this in a votech class room with immature high schoolers around and they may have screwed with something. doesn’t really matter though, its fixed ad i thank you for helping me sir.

@jfulton Try putting a dumb switch (unmanaged mini-switch) between the target host you’re working with and the rest of the network, see if it makes a difference or not. If there’s a difference, we have additional steps for you on how to fix it.
