The desktop connects just fine. Yes, modem was powered down - powered up.
The suck-ass Linksys notebook adaptor is the problem at this point. It won't connect to internet despite showing good signal to the access point.

I have successfully connected now. Called Linksys tech. support and a really smart Indian guy walked me through. I matched the WEP password on my router with the WEP logon, and then used Win XP to connect the wireless network. Linksys' documentation contradicted that. They said for XP users, not to enable Windows to connect the wireless network. ALL IS GOOOOOD!

Can you connect the laptop to the router using bulit in LAN?
Did you check you proxy settings?
Can you see the other PC? The Router?
I suspect you have a config issue between the router / access point and the laptop config.
Same SSID? WEP / WPA? Client software or Windows Zero Config Wireless software?
Specifics please......

And you power-cycled the cable modem after you connected it to the router's WAN port?
