Some really basic stuff first
1. Remove ALL firewalls (e.g. Zone alarm) and if possible turn off
firewall features of router.
2. Disable in Harware manager the ethernet adapters (I have sometimes
found machines having difficulty with 2 network cards)
3. The fact one pc can get out to internet would say there are problems
with the laptops/pc rather than the router
4. Being a wirless connection can you see the access point (can you
ping any of the other computers)
5. I am assuming you have set the pc's to get ip automatically (i see
DHCP enabled?)

I think you need to look at the actual computers as this seems to where
problem is
Need more info

The problem is with the desktop PC the only firewall installed is the one in
Windoze.

The problem is On good internet laptop I see my specific DNS to the Internet
server at Minetfiber.net when I do an ipconfig and the network conection
details look
good

On bad internet desktop i can see the network connection details and have an
established lease thru the default gateway. So they also look good.

But still no internet connection???

Jim,

Besides the known personal firewalls, there are numerous other security products
and settings that could cause your problem. Read this article with an open
mind.

Look at the NetBT setting, for instance, on each computer.

And look at "browstat status", "net config server", and "net config
workstation", from each computer, too. Read this article, and linked articles,
and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!):

Depending upon where the problem is, any or all of the above procedures may be
useful. You may also want to consider how you diagnose your problem.
