Which OS are you running on the PC?

When connected up via the router, open up a command prompt/terminal;

ping 209.85.171.100

ping 74.125.45.100

if you get valid replies, then you have Internet connectivity, in the same command prompt/terminal window, try;

ping google.com

if that DOESN'T give you a similar response then you possibly have a DNS issue. Change your PC's DNS settings to (OpenDNS - known to be working atm);

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Repeat above ping tests.
