sounds too me like a firewall issue
I know u are able to ping the router but do actually gain access the site if u punch it the address bar. secondly if u punch this ip 66.102.9.147 in the address bar does google come up
if google does come up then check DNS's your could use 209.068.222.222 / 209.068.220.220
if google does not come up try to ping it
if it pings then its def a firewall if not your connection to the router is not correct and may need to be redone possibly try a def security type usually wep works most of the time
hope this helps

which wireless encryption you using cause if its WPA some laptops wireless dont support it
so you have to change your wireless on router to wep encrypted
