Russ, you're pretty close and, no, wireless won't be any easier.
Open up the command prompt and try and ping this ip address:
ping 74.125.19.103
If that's successful then the only hitch is the DNS settings.

Russ, I hate to be unsympathetic but if you screwed up your macs like you screwed up your PC, they would not work either :-)

OK, so it's something beyond the DNS.
So, for ease of getting to the settings, let's change something before staring...
Right-click on the Start Menu button, select "Properties"
Click the "Customize" button
Select the "Advanced" tab.
In the scrolling box in the middle, scroll down until you can see the "Network Connections" section, select the "Link to Network Connections Folder" radio button:
Click "OK" to dismiss the Customize dialog, Click OK again to dismiss the Start Menu properties dialog.
Now: Start->Network Connections
You'll see a folder with the network connections listed. You probably only have one, should say "Local Area Connection"
Right click on that and select properties.
In the resulting dialog, scroll down the center section until you see the "Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) entry.
Select it and click the "Properties" button:
You should have the radio buttons ticked as shown in the right-hand part of that image ("...automatically")
If "...automatically" isn't selected, tick those radio buttons, click "OK" to dismuss the TCP/IP properties, then "OK" again to dismuss the Connection Properties.

So, what you posted above is your router configuration, Russ. Don't change anything in there. That is working fine, or your macs wouldn't be online.
Your network (Local Area Network), regardless of Mac or PC is 192.168.1.0. This means that all of your workstations need to have an IP address starting with 192.168.1 (ie: 192.168.1.4, 192.168.5, etc.) and the default gateway (your router address)should be 192.168.1.1. As well, your subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0 your DNS should point to this 192.168.1.1 address.
So, what Werner is saying is to go into the network properties of your PC (right-click Network Places icon, select Properties, double-click the icon for your network connection). Open the properties for TCP/IP (Click the Properties button, double-click on Internet Protocol TCP/IP) and select "Use the following address:"
In there, enter 192.168.1.20 under IP Address
255.255.255.0 for Subnet Mask
192.168.1.1 for Default Gateway
Also enter 192.168.1.1 for DNS1.
If everything else is working, you should be up and running after that.
Call me if you're still having issues.
Edit: If you go with the above (froodish) route and select to attempt to get your addresses from DHCP, in your CMD Prompt type in ipconfig /release and then ipconfig/renew after you set it to "Automatically obtain settings". This will attempt to hit the router and renew your IP Lease and get a new address from the router. In XP, this can get boogered up though, thus Werner is asking you to set it manually.

All that made total sense. I am now tasting the blue gray metal and preparing to pull the trigger. The cold steel clacking on my teeth may be the last sensation I feel.......

I had similar problems a few days ago with a cable modem.
Don't know why, but the solution was to unplug power from the cable modem, pull out it's battery, put back, replug.
Also, it may help to remove the router, till you at least get the pc working directly off the cable modem.

This PC isn't running some 3rd party firewall (McAfee, Norton, etc.) by any chance is it?
As a last resort, you could remove the device (network card) from the Device Manager, reboot the machine and let Windows reconfigure things - that usually will do the trick, but I'd only do that if it was common hardware that Windows would have drivers built in for. When you got the Properties on the Local Area Connection, what did it list the hardware as?

The ol' proxy settings will get you every time:
I used to do this as part of how to tether laptop to the iPhone - a real PITA compare to how simple it is now (PdaNet)...

Went through something similar myself last month w/ my new Linksys. Call linksys tech help & they'll walk you through it - takes about 15 to 45 minutes.

Your router wouldn't happen to be set to deny access to computers whose MAC addresses aren't listed in it's "allow" field?
