not connected - connections available

[12Strings]

In a previous post I was seeking help with my newly refurbished win7 desktop. I just got it
back and can't join my home group because I can't connect to internet. I get "not connected
connections available". I have 2 machines networked and sharing but I'm missing something.
I clicked on "tools" several times and unchecked "work offline. Each time I restart but it always reverts.
I think that is the problem. following is my ipconfig:

I just got the machine today but I reset WINSOCK entries & ipv4 tcp/ip stack. Ipv6 gave
"there's no user specified settings to be reset". where do I go now?

I find that the prob is w/the wireless adaptor. In googling the netgear WNA 3100, people world wide
are trying to get the thing to work. I'm kinda lost in this and would like advice.
