Now compare that to the settings on the one that IS connecting. From the
other messages it would appear there's a DNS problem. When in doubt,
configure non-working systems in manner that matches working ones. From
other messages it would appear the first difference is the DNS info. An
"ipconfig /all" on the working PC should show you what it's using for this.
It's set for automatic DNS based on DHCP (which is fine). Setting your
wireless PC to this same setting would be a good first step.

Then run the ping command on the wireless PC. See if it can ping the wired
PC's IP address. See if it can ping the gateway. Then ping a website (like
www.google.com) from the wired PC and make a note of the IP address. Ping
that address from the wireless PC.

Then try using tracert.exe on the wireless PC. Use the IP address of the
pinged www server. See if it makes enough hops to get out.
