Working on a friends wireless. They can get a connection and cant get online from any server. Everything checks out with ISP, DHCP, etc. We hooked up at our own home and everything checked out for the wireless service we were running but still cant get to the internet.
They have connected at Tampa Airport, Comcast network, and our own home unsecured network. Have pulled a 192. IP, but cant get the internet on any of them. But, a desktop hooked to the same Comcast can, and all wireless on the same home network is able to.

Did you do the stuff that was recommended the first time you asked this question?
If I read this right, other PCs can use this same wireless connection - correct? It's only one PC that can't get connected? If so, the problem is most likely on that PC, not the router.
Did that PC get an IP address assigned by the router - yes/no?
Can you ping the router local interface through the wireless connection? Make sure the problem PC can first communicate on the local network. Take baby steps.
Your question is hard to follow.

Perhaps the router is set to only allow certain IPs to connect, or the computer's settings for the wireless connection are wrong somewhere. If the IP, Default Gateway, etc are all set to automatic then it ought to work. If it doesn't, try setting it to similar settings to another computer on the network that does work. I'd bet that it's probably something set with the router. If they have encryption enabled, make sure they have the right key set, otherwise it will probably claim that it's connected even when it's not.

You may want to make sure your lan connection is disabled. This can cause a few problems.
You can also try this
click start>run then type cmd into the command line window. When you get the command line window up type in the following
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
make sure there is a space after ipconfig
hope that helps

Check the DNS entries on laptop that can't connect. Make sure they aren't set to static incorrect entries. Also check that the router is up to date with DNS.
