Dear McClane
Try viewing the router's configuration for a problem. Go into Internet
Explorer,
and enter the router's IP address in the address bar (to find the router's
IP,
type 'ipconfig /all' at a command prompt).
It might be that the router is not configured as a DHCP server, in which
case
the 'client for Microsoft Networks' service on the client computers must be
configured with a static IP instead of automatically detecting settings.
If static IPs are needed, try 192.168.0.10 for one maching and 192.168.0.20
for the other.
