I am not able to get my desktop and laptop (using wireless) to connect to the internet simultaneously. Whichever one I connect to the router first gets the connection.
If I connect directly from my laptop, everything is OK. Once I go wireless, the internet access is lost.

I log into the router, and it knows about both machines, has the right IP address and I can PING from both machines to the router. I can't find any docs on this problem.

Any ideas?

Are you using dhcp to assign an ip number or are you using static IPs. If the latter, the two computers should not have the same number...
