Have you already checked your network settings by using
ipconfig /all

Compare the output with one of your computers, that can access the internet.

I assume, that all the wireless computers get the ip addresses via DHCP.

So the computer, that isn't working, should also get the ip address via DHCP to get all the infos correctly, like ip address, subnet mask, dhcp server, dns server and standard gateway.

Maybe it's a special port for uplinking another router or switch.

But it works.
Great.
