Martin,
The Wizard is intended to make things simple for some people, but it is not
essential. Everything you can do with the wizard, you can do knowing what's
going on.
If the browstat and ipconfig files are in text form, you should have them open
in Notepad. Then simply copy and paste. Read my instructions.

# Type "notepad c:\ipconfig.txt" (less the "") into the same command window.
# In Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is NOT checked!.
# Copy and paste entire contents of the file into your next message.
