I have dsl hooked to my desktop and going wireless to 2 other
computers. I have had it for a little over a month with no problems but
now my host desktop will not connect. My wireless connections are still
working so I can get on the internet with them just not my host
computer. what could cause this problem?

Lots of things - hardware failure, viruses/malware, corrupted drivers,
etc. There's no way to know or give you focused help from the little
information you've provided. In general:

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time
things worked and the time they didn't?

The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the
malware/virus status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what
programs (and versions) did you use to determine this?

Be sure the computer is clean:

After you've gone through at least some of the above troubleshooting, if
you need more help see what details you need to include:
