Needless to say there's no internet connection, and I can't find anything
else wrong. I'm hoping that someone out there knows what we're missing or
what's wrong.

Step 1: I turned off all of the Windows security features (firewall,
Defender, Secure User Accounts, etc.) just in case something wasn't allowing
an internet connection. I figured that once it was connected I could turn
them back on one at a time.
Step 2: I clicked Start, then Control Panel, then Network & Sharing Center,
then Manage Network Connections, then I right clicked on the Wireless
Connection, then clicked Properties, unchecked IPv6 and then clicked OK. Just
for good measure I went back and did the same thing for the Ethernet
Connection.
Step 3: I had forgotten that for wireless security only MAC addresses are
filtered, so I didn't even need the IP address. I accessed our router’s
web-based setup page from another PC and entered the new PC's MAC address.
Then I went back to the new PC, clicked Start, Connect To, double clicked on
our wireless network, re-entered the passcode and other information for our
network and it finally connected!
