I have an ASUS P5W DH Deluxe motherboard with a built in wireless AP. In station mode, I can connect to the internet, in access point mode, I lose my external IP and neither my desktop or the laptop I am trying to access the internet on through my desktop will connect.

I'm running Windows XP SP3 on both systems. the laptop is a Gateway 600ygr using a Rosewill RNX-G1W USB 2.0 Adapter and it is getting 4 bar signal.
The desktop is a custom built rig

Check your IP routing. If your desktop is supposed to act as an access point (or router) for your laptop, it might be confused about where its gateway is. (It might think it's on two subnets at the same time due to multiple interfaces.)

Would you like good music at a price that is right? CD Baby, baby.

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

I solved the problem by upgrading to Windows 7
