IP address conflict

I'm getting an IP address conflict when I fire up my wife's Sony VAIO AR520E laptop. I am using a WRT54G router that is wired into my desktop via an cable. I have my SSID hidden but I have been able to successfully setup the network connection on my wife's VAIO. When I just use the VAIO I can get a wireless connection with no IP address conflict appearing on my desktop. If I just use my desktop to access the Internet I also don't have a problem. It's when I try to access the Internet with both computers at the same time that I run inot the IP address conflict.
I suspect that I have to make some "adjustments" using the router control / setup via my browser but I don't know what to "tweak". Any suggestions would be most welcome!

Make sure that both computers are set to obtain an IP address automatically and that you have enough DHCP range in the router - default is 50, from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149.
