One question, are you behind a router with many other computers???
Another thing that may help is changing the DNS settings to Google DNS.

Try this, it would most likely work.
Change the Desktop to connect via a different IP such as 192.168.1.255. Along with other devices that go through, I think it might be that the computers get the IP but fight for the internet.

Both can help in a way, usually the DNS, 192.168.1.1 & 192.168.1.2. It always works for me.
For the Router, there should be a way to where you can make the computers that join the network with the MAC Address get a set IP that you could set. Also helps improve security as it is a way to tell people that connect can't access the router or anything.

Some of this information is irrelevant.

Did you ever change the DNS settings on the router to Googles & did you also change your computer's IP???
One more thing I'd recommend looking at is what is called a MAC Filter on the Router.
