The reason I suggested checking to make sure that you are connected wirelessly to you own network is that a laptop can connect to another unsecured network if it is not configured right. If your laptop is connecting and your desktop will not connect wirelessly, my guess is that you either have the wrong wireless protocol selected for your desktop wireless card or you have entered the wrong encryption code. In other words, if your laptop is connecting using WPA2 encryption, then your desktop adapter must use the same protocol and the same password or pass phrase. Not all wireless adapters support the same protocols, so your network must use one that all of the computers support.

I suggest trying to configure your network to not use any encryption to verify that your desktop network adapter is working and then reconfigure your modem from scratch to use the best encryption that both computers will support.
