can ping IPs fine, but not web addresses!

[Jesse]

(also posted elsewhere, as I don't know which part of the
whole the problem is with!)
PC #1 (win98) was using USB to connect to a cable modem -
worked fine.
PC #2 (winXP) came along, and after unplugging usb and
power from Cable modem, and connecting #2s cat5 cable and
re-powering my cable modem - internet worked fine.

Now, PC2 ran fine connected to the cable modem through my
linksys 4port router. I installed a 3com network card
into PC1, and connected it to my router as well. PC1
can 'ping' an IP address no problem (including yahoo and
my router's IP), but cannot ping a web address, and my
browser (explorer), will not display anything. I tried
taking PC2 out of the loop completely and re-powering, and
I know that my IE settings are correct. PLEASE HELP!! I'm
a PC tech myself for my local hospitol, so this is really
driving me crazy!!!

Thanks!! AIM-jackrabbix YIM-Jackrabbix
