DSL modem + WRG614 wireless router + wired PC and wireless laptop, XP.
All new equip less than a year old.

The DSL modem is in bridge mode and the router is doing PPPoE.
The wired PC has no problem getting its IP from the router (DHCP) and
reaching the internet.

The wireless laptop also gets an IP from the router but I get no
internet. It connects to the router. The SSID is correct and unique for
this LAN. The laptop can ping the router and the wired PC. I forgot to
try pinging the other direction but suspect is works. The router stats
show both machines are connected with different IPs.

I have tried all three security modes: none , WEP64, WPA.
I have tried setting static IP and known good DNS and gateway addresses
in the laptop. I have turned off the sw firewall. Other than PPPoE the
router is at its defaults. I am running out of things to try.

I may not have done every step above in the proper order/combination so
I may have missed something.

Would ping still work if I had an incorrect security key?

The problem was solved by re-flashing the firmware (same version) and
re-entering all the settings again. Hard to believe I would have to
resort to this on a brand-new unit, but there you go.
