Do you have "internet connection sharing" on any of the systems? If so,
remove it. Have you tried to download a file from the network and internet
from the laptop. When downloading from the internet (on laptop) try
downloading a file from the internet from a desktop. Did it download ok?
How is the ping from a desktop to the laptop? Can you set the wired ports
to 198.x.x.x and the wireless to 10.x.x.x? How many wireless connections
will the router take? Can you set it to just the one connection to make
sure you are not getting throttled at all? Turn DHCP off on the router and
assign IPs to the systems, see how that works. Can you look at logs on the
router? See anything that doesn't look right? Manually put in the gateway
in the laptop.
Can't think of anymore....

I've been away for awhile, but this problem remains at this time. Any help
is appreciated. I'm pretty much dumbfounded at this point. I can ping the
router and the laptop is successfully pinged from the router and other
computers on the network, with a response time of 1ms to 32ms with no packet
loss. Flushed dns, repaired connection. The signal is strong and connects
all the time, IP is assigned successfully. Using the latest atheros drivers
for XP... 4.1.2.71. The only problem seems to be actually connecting to the
internet.
This did not happen before with a SMC pc card 802.11b adapter.
Where should I be looking to solve this problem?

Can you ping the default gateway/router? Can the router's diagnostic
page ping the laptop?
