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.
