I have a wired network problem. I have a laptop has built in LAN and works fine over this network's ethernet, but the desktop PC just gets a limited or no connectivity signal. It cannot view other computers on the network and it cannot access the internet, but says it is connected.

Start > Run > cmd
At the command prompt type "ipconfig" (no quotes)
if you have a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx address, you're not getting to the internet
if not, then type "ping www.google.com" if it times out, you have a problem, if not, you're getting to the internet.

If your ISP has provided with IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS Addresses, then, your router should not be set to DHCP, it should be set to Static IP...Set your router's Internet Connection type to Static IP and enter the information provided by your ISP and see if that works...
Also adjust the Wireless Settings on your router if it does not connect wirelessly...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a wired computer...In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
-Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
-Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
