Well looking at what you posted.. I can see that your computer name is Home. That your ethernet card has no cable plugged into it and that you are using probably DSL or Cable w/ a USB Modem.

Perhaps another approach would work better, what aspect of computers are you trying to learn about? Perhaps we can provide a few good links to get you started in the right direction.
