Wireless laptop online, hardwire desktop is not

Hi;
I hope this is the correct group to pose this question. I am running
a cable connection to my desktop, which is hard-wired into a wireless
router from which I run my laptop. I am not sure what happened, but
suddenly I cannot get online from my desktop even though my wireless
laptop still works fine. This has been going on for a few days--I
tried reseting the modem and router and checked the hardwire
connections to the desktop. Any ideas on where the problem might be?
Thanks for any help!
Barry

Have you made changes in the router - default IP for the router, MAC
filtering, etc., that might not be reflected in the failed connection?
Assuming WinXP, do from a command prompt: ipconfig[space]/all. Post
back the results.
