Internet Desktop and Laptop wont work together

Recent built a desktop. And hooked up and modem to it. It gets internet but the Laptops don't. When I shut off the desktop the laptops do get internet. What could be the problem? It works again if I hook the router and modem back to the old desktop.

So if I'm reading this right you have a modem connected to a router connected to two laptops and a desktop??
