You might try running ipconfig /all from a cmd prompt on the desktop PC. Make sure you are getting a proper IP address if you are running DHCP.

Just to be sure, try turning off the encryption on the router and see if you can connect with the PC. If you can then maybe something is configured wrong in the wep settings on the PC. I had trouble with a wireless card I bought a while ago because it didn't support some types of encryption and that could be your problem. Try updating the wireless card drivers as well.

Did you check your Windows firewall settings? Do you have Norton or another brand internet security installed?
