What does a netstat command tell you?  What does a "route" query tell you?
 
On ANY of the non-connectable boxes?

Turn off and disconnect power to all units.

Power up the ADSL modem.  Wait until you get a good status connection on
the modem's indicator lights.  Then, powerup the router.  Ditto on
indicator lights.  Then power up the WAP.  Ditto on the indicator lights. 
Power up one computer at a time, and do diags for connection to WAP.  When
successfully connected each computer to WAP, do connection diags on
computer-to-computer, one at a time.  Ensure that EACH computer has a
valid hosts file which contains data relating to every other computer. 
Ensure that the "routes" are correct for each computer.  Etc.

Post again if not successful!
