To simplify a bit, could you disable WEP and enable SSID broadcast, then
try again? (This is just to test whether you can get anything to work at
all, not a suggestion that you need to stay with this wide-open setup
permanently.)
You note that you have MAC filtering disabled, but you wrote this:

I'm not sure what "firewall" refers to here, just wanted to double-check
that MAC filtering is truly disabled because the symptoms you describe
are classic MAC filtering symptoms; I went through exactly the same
thing not too long ago when I put a new wireless card in my laptop and
then couldn't figure out why I couldn't get online with it.

I realize that your other family members may be inconvenienced for a
little while, but just for the sake of ruling out every complicating
factor, I think it's worth trying (even though you believe there's no
problem with the WEP key).
You'd only have to change the settings for a few minutes at most. The
results of such a test would very much help diagnose what's going on.
