Ok and sorry I.was frustrated with my.pc and me.being.computer illiterate. I appreciate the help.... its a dell desktop and I believe the original owner who was my friend did a custom.build thru dell on a website but I am not entirely sure I belive its a 64 bit I think I am not good with this stuff at all. The net gear my pc is telling me.is working correctly I got locked up and lost all my discs and stuff bit the pc... the only internet access I have at this point is my phone and my wifes tablet that is connected thru the phones hotspot as I am trying to do with my desk top ... I dont.know where to find a series number.... is there.anything.else I can provide to try and help?.... I tried a trouble shoot from the incoming connection it said a possible firewall block so I ran as admin with autofix and it said it fixed it but it didnt after clicking the continue button it said the fix was not solved and more.info was needed but not what was needed or a way to give it...

Now we know that you are attempting to use a mobile phone as a hotspot to connect your Dell desktop computer to the internet and using a Netgear wireless dongle 

 

As you have a tablet that is able to access the internet there will have been a password applied at some point and this will need to be entered in Windows to pair your Netgear wireless device to the phone and ultimately allow you access to the internet.

 

Please confirm that you know the password (only you and your Wife should know it).

Tell us what OS you are using as in Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 or 8.1 etc, this so we can find the correct procedure for setting up the computer to allow you to enter the security information that will be needed.

 

Two final questions that needs to be asked, are you aware of the costs of using a mobile phone as a hotspot and is connecting the computer to the internet through the phone permitted by the signal provider/carrier.
