The tech might have been on a different window, there is NO general tab
going on arayfo1's description, anyway
Silly me sure there is a general tab - not really a tab though
It is the only window of IPv4 properties.

Hello arayfo1,
I'm sorry for the long wait, had quite a busy day today because had to work Sat all day 'again'.
Anyway, I see that a few smart SF Posters are already giving their feedback and they are all quite helpful. The Thread is quite long for me to read everything so I might have overlooked some of them. Please correct me if I'm wrong here... Your issue seems to be wired and wireless. You may try these suggestions if you have not done it yet.
- Assign Static IP's on both of your LAN and WLAN settings.

- Verify that all your Network Services are Started from Control Panel and its Dependencies.
Click on the Start button and type services.msc press enter.

Update: I called my ISP and talked to a second technical support guy. He changed my password, he changed the name of my network 4 different times. The pc never reconnected. He then talked me through my drivers because he wanted to ascertain that I had the correct drivers installed and I informed him that I had installed two different wireless drivers, because I was under the impression if one didn't work then the other would. He of course informed me that whenever you install the second driver it automatically overrides (overwrites?) the first one. So, I tried each one separately (after uninstalling them) and that didn't make a difference either. Finally, he asked me to restart the pc and suddenly Windows prompted me to leave the pc powered on so that it can finish downloading updates. The tech support guy was nice enough to wait with me on the phone through all 153 updates. Afterwards, I restarted the pc and still no connection. He even tried unencrypting the modem/router so that I didn't need a password and it still wouldn't connect. And finally he asked me to connect ethernet directly to my pc and restart pc then go into the command prompt and enter ipconfig. He asked me to read to him the IP address, which is:
169.254.21.218
According to him, any IP address which begins with 169 is a fictional IP address. In other words, he was trying to say the pc itself is just making up ip addresses, which according to him means something very severe is going on and that I should take my pc to a computer repair shop. Initially, he thought I should buy a new usb adapter to replace this old school screw-in adapter that I currently have, because it has included with it its own wireless drivers, but after reading to him this so-called fiction IP address he said I shouldn't even bother.
Don't believe everything your read and hear.
No need to reapir the machine at a costly shop. Stick with SevenForums - we'll set you straight. Might take a while, but costs nothing.
Rayda will be back shortly. Please have tried all of the steps she gave you or ask back for our help to do them.
Rayda will hate me saying this but she is one of the top experts in the field so please do not waste her time. You cannot buy it anywhere.
Ok, let me look at post 271 again. We'll do this step by step, alright?
By the way Rayda was suggesting the same thing plus more.
give me a few minutees to review 271
