The computer won't boot.  It won't connect to anything either anymore.  
I can get a cli but it can't seem to find any commands that work so 
nothing so far has done anything.  I answered all questions as will as I 
could by typing in what came up on the stricken computer's screen into 
another computer which still can connect to the network.  Copy and paste 
doesn't work from computer to computer.
