I recently updated my cable modem, but this problem existed prior to
that. I am able to successfully connect to the internet via three
laptops and one ethernet connected PC (no longer exists).

Is it a virus or trojan? I thought it was my motherboard, but it
wouldn't make sense that the wireless adapter wouldn't work if the LAN
card was broken, correct?

Please help...the computer is intended for basic school functions and I
would rather not invest in a new computer for this purpose.

Rafael,

Please start with some detailed description about physical connection of each
computer. Remember, I'm not there in front of your computer.

Then, let's look at "ipconfig /all", from each computer, and diagnose the
problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions
precisely:
