take away the http:// and it should be 198.168.0.1 and there should be no forward slash at the end
Actually, the "http://" prefix and "/" suffix should be there, and any decent web browser will add it in if you don't. The IP address for the router is more likely to be 192.168.0.1 than 192.18.0.1 or 198.168.0.1 but I'll assume that you've both made typos in your post.

Do you have an AOL modem(/router/wireless access point) or a Netgear?

It really only should be something on their if you're not using network address translation (nat), since they probably only have one IP address for you, and the first computer is taking it. Using nat solves the problem. I can't think of any other reason for you being able to access the internet only with a wired connection to your router.
You said that your second computer picks up the access point. Does it only list it as available, or does it actually connect to it? Connection won't be automatic to secure networks.
