Ok with the laptop, are you able to connect to the router itself? (not so much the net, but the Router's WAP (Wireless Access Point)? Is there an encryption key setup on the router? If so, you'll need to know that key in order to connect. With the desktop machine, how are you connected? USB, Ethernet, Wireless? If USB, you'll need to be sure that you have the proper drivers for that router's specific firmware version installed. If wireless, much like the laptop, you'll need to have your connection setup to broadcast the proper encryption key. You may also want to check and see if your computer (desktop) supports the wireless protocol the router uses (E.G. Wireless G / Wireless B). Beyond that, I'm afraid I can't be of much more help.
