Similar problem here. My fix was simpler than I thought. Reset (power cycle) your cable-modem. When you injected the router, it has to re-apply for an IP address. The cable modem may not have been expecting this, and it keeps waiting for the old negotiated IP to come it's way.

So, do the instructions as per the wizard, reboot your machines, then power cycle the cable modem (DSL Modem, ect.) Worked for me.

Thanks, I appreciate your answer. It didn't have to re=apply for an IP, since I go off the original MAC of the Ethernet card. So the dtop and lap both have distinct IPs, same workgroup name, can access internet -- yet can't even ping one another, let alone "see" one another.
