1. Have you tried all the LAN ports on the router?
2. Have you tried a different CAT5 cable?
3. Have you tried connecting a laptop with the same cable and no
wireless?
4. Have you turned off all filtering and security on the router?
5. Have you power cycled the router?
Otherwise:
Run IPCONFIG /ALL on the desktop, and post the exact output here.
It might also be helpful to have the same output from a laptop, both
wireless and wired.
