You've got most of the problem solved if the router is connecting and 
getting an address.  I suspect your computers aren't set to get an IP 
address via dhcp from the router.  That's ok as long as the probably 
static addresses they have are within the range that the router expects. 
 What's the IP address of your computer, is for exampe 192.168.0.25 or 
something with the range that it expects.  It's got to be something 
simple now.  I only use dhcp with laptops now (and note that netgear 
routers reassign the same IP address to the same mac address unless the 
router is reset or turned off) but if you're set up for dhcp the router 
should be picking up your computers.
