Router problems
Meh. The typhoon last year gave us inconsistent internet. A thunder storm yesterday borked up the router. I can connect to the internet with this laptop via wireless network but the desktops are another thing. They are connected via cable. We've tried rearranging the cords, restarting the router and modem, changing stuff in the TCP/IP control, but no cookie.
 I'd really appreciate your help guys. Router model is Linksys WRT54G.

by the time when you get another router (since lan cables on it don't work) you can connect wirelessly via laptop and then wiring it up to your desktops, either sharing the internet connection or making a proxy server

The problem is, the laptop is my dad's and he won't allow it to be like... the center of the internet connections. My brother came up with this: If he can connect via modem, then it's not the modem nor the cables, since both our cables work fine with modem. It's also not the router because it works wireless. :\

If you suspect that there's a problem with the router's network settings rather than a physical issue (as in, lightning set the thing on fire, and it hasn't worked since), reset the router to its default settings and reconfigure it. Most SOHO routers have a reset button somewhere. You may have to hold it down for a few seconds in order to reset everything, rather than simply pressing it.

There should be a little hole in the back of your router that you can insert a paperclip into so you can reset it.

Yeah, the LAN Cable ports were busted after the storm. Got a new router and it works well.
