There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with your internet connection. Did you try hardwiring the modem to your computer?

    If it works with a hard-wire that tells me that there's something wrong with the wireless signal.

      I used both the yellow Ethernet and white internet wire.
      The white/grey wire would not "click" in place, the yellow wire did, but no internet in regular start up mode.
      Is this PC finished?

      Did you try re-setting the modem. Unplug the electrical connection for about one minute and re-connect it.

        I did, no help.

        I unplugged the modem, took the yellow wire and connected it to my computer.
        It says I am connected both to the wireless network and the wired network BUT with LOCAL access only.
        Any idea what this means?

          I've tried but ran into two problems:

          1-Step 2 says:

          Locate the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" folder on the left side of the registry editor window and click the arrow next to it to expand it. Browse to the "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{GUID}" directory. Click the arrow next to each folder to expand them.

          I can get to Interfaces, but under that directory there is no GUID.  Instead all I see listed is

          {20114897-748B-4A11-BCC9-F0E93AEFEC33}
          {20DA44BE-98A1-475D-B8AC-88DF3AD26CDD}
          {2D337886-3709-4D31-AB17-1C63C566119D}
          {3a539854-6a70-11db-887c-806e6f6e6963}
          {D83D5627-FB49-437C-B3E7-C61C85550B27}

          Which is it?

          Click the (GUID) subkey for the network adapter that has the "Local Only" issue. The GUID, or globally unique identifier, is a specific number assigned to your network card. The GUID is found in the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>Windows NT>CurrentVersion\NetworkCards" section of the registry editor.

          I navigated to network cards but I just see under Network Cards a folder called 5 and a folder called 8.  Which should I use?

            Now, in directory restore mode, I can't access the internet which I could before yesterday.
            It can't even detect a connection.

            This is the only thing I can give that may help with that problem.

            Please download and run MS Fix-it from here.

              If this doesn't work, do I need an in person repair?
              How can I download this if the internet connection does not work on that PC?
