Another networking problem: My wireless computers connect and internet works (to my router), but my wired computers connect and transfer bytes but the internet doesn't work. It won't go to the router configuration tool (on the wired computers), and anytime I click to go to a web page it instantly pops up that it cannot be found rather than trying for a few moments like it usually does before the popup.

If the wired computers are using XP, try Start -> Run... type "cmd" (no quotes). This will bring up the command prompt. I would first try:
Code:
ipconfig /release
followed by:
Code:
ipconfig /renew
and see if they pick up new IP's from the router.

If that doesn't work, check your LAN properties to make sure you don't have bad settings in there. If you're using DHCP (standard), then you don't want any manual info in the TCP/IP properties.
 
and make sure you don't have any of your network devices bridged
