Default 2 PCs see each other but one can't go online

Hello!

I am trying to set up a network installation with a linksys DSL router
(BEFSR41 v3).

Two machines running Windows ME are connected to the router. I am using
static IPs. Both PCs can ping each other and see each other. Both can ping
the router successfully but only one of them opens websites. The other one
can't connect to the internet through the router. Ping yahoo.com results in
timeout. The other PC works fine (pinging the web, opening websites).

I checked TCP/IP settings and except for the different local IP erveything
is identical - gateway, DNS... What else could cause PC2 to fail when trying
to ping into the internet? I already cleaned network settings and
re-installed all protocols and network adapters to prevent problems with the
Windows ME network socket/stack.

Thanks for help!


Bye Oliver
