I think I have networking problems, that is causing GPO problems

Well here goes, sorry 'bout the length, but I want to get it all
out there. Please take a look at this for me, as I seem to be a little
(whole lot) lost.

This information was obtained from my Desktop, then Laptop, and
finally the server.

Like I was saying before, I have the a router hooked up to the internet
via
cable, and I have each of the 3 pc's connected to the router, the desktop is
set to automatically get ip and DNS information automatically, On the server
I put in the settings manually, and on the laptop, it is set to
automatically obtain the information.

Here is the information I got from ipconfig /all, I notice that
there is 3 DNS Server addresses for the laptop. To be honest, with my
limited knowledge they looked pretty messed up.

Desktop Results from ipconfig /all:

P.S. I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to put the physical address on the
internet so I put # for numbers, and L for Letters.

I don't know if it will be usefull, but I will show my servers info as well
while I'm at it.
