Dan, Is the network adapter seen by the routher? Check your DHCP table in the router. I have a linksys router and that's how I can check to see if things are on the network.
Have you limited the number of connections to your network in the router software? If so, you will need to change that. If not, perhaps something is not connected properly. I would think as long as it's going into the router it could be seen by all computers on the network.
