Did you reinstall the " Chipset Software", and perhaps the " Desktop System Software"?
If you did, how is the 3000 connected to the Internet? Is it through a router? If so which one? Is your connection to the Internet ADSL or cable?
It would be useful to see the complete output of "ipconfig /all". That can be obtained by opening a cmd.exe window (Start/Run cmd.exe). In the window that opens, type
ipconfig /all
Then select all the output that results by dragging the mouse cursor over it with the left mouse button held down. Once it's all highlighted, click on the right mouse button. That will transfer the output to the clipboard. Then paste the output into a reply to this message.

The command you need to type is ipconfig /all not ipconfig/all (note the space between the g and the /).

At least in the US, most cable modems are configured to accept only one Ethernet connection at a time. If another Ethernet device is to be connected, the modem needs to be powered off for about five minutes before it will accept another Ethernet device.
Can you explain exactly what you mean by "i can't ipconfig it"? Clearly you'll need to write the output down, or create a text file containing it, and transfer the file to a system that can connect to the Internet in order to post it. Also, when you say "now dimension has internet", does that mean that while the Dimension 3000 can connect to the Internet, it cannot connect to, or be seen by, your other computer? Are both receiving IP addresses from the cable modem? If so, the cable modem must include a router and DHCP server. What model cable modem do you have?
(edit) Regarding your most recent post - what operating system is the Dimension 3000 running?

I suspect you now have two of us confused. The space must be present in what you type into the cmd.exe window, or you'll receive the error you reported!

Gentelmen, I guessed I'm the most stupid person in networking, now I'm almost sure:smileyhappy:, but with space or without, it says "error"... so, any ideas, please?
thank you, sorry for bothering

I trust you're planning to post the command's output!

In case you're still receiving that error, let's try something.
Open a cmd.exe window as before. But this time, in the window that opens, type the following two commands:
cd \windows\system32
ipconfig /all
If that results in correct output from "ipconfig", there's a problem with a setting on your system called the "PATH" environment variable. How that happened I don't know, but I hope it's unrelated to the network problem.
