Your wireless computer may not be connected thru your router. I'll tell you the best way to get it fixed quick is to talk to the Linksys people. They have great customer service.

On the main computer:
1) Open network connections, Start, settings, network settings.
2) check to see that under Local Area connection, that the status is not Network Cable Unplugged or Disabled. If it is enabled, that's good. If it is one of the two above, check the cable, also enable the local area connection.
3) check the cable is plugged into port 1,2,3,or 4 on the router, not WAN connection to the computer. Also, if the cable is plugged in and connected, then it should light up the port, also you will have blinking lights on the back of the computer where the cable plugs into the port.
4) try running the cable to the working computer, the one with the wireless, and see if it can access the internet using the cable, and be sure to disable the wireless when you try this. If it works, then there is nothing that needs to be set in the router.
try these first, let us know!
