I'm running this from another laptop so I'm not able to copy n paste the results because it's extremely long, is there another method that where I'm able to type the results to you?

i reinstalled and it's able to ping, but it wont stop pinging...it keeps repeating the information (or continuously pinging)

Control-C to stop the pinging.

I'd have suggested that if you're going to reinstall, go with a more current version (7.10 or 8.04).

Isn't repitition of pinging infinitely normal?

EDIT: Yes it is.

You could press Ctrl + C to end the pings

You will get an output like this:

--- yahoo.com ping statistics ---

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 317.846/320.230/324.002/1.618 ms

Look at the last line in a similar ping and check How many packets are transmitted and recieved. If packet loss is in single digit figures, then the internet is working.
