its either something with your cable internet provider (prolly not them in this case though) or the configuration of the router. Check your router for an 800 tech support number 9/10 times they have free tech support and will be able to give the correct ManuFac settings and config for what you need.

Do you have norton internet security? If so use the wizzard on it to set up a network. (I had the same problem)

Okay, I tried to interpret your problem in English, so if my suggestions are way out to left field it's because I can't understand what you are writing.

 

First of all, what type of Router are you using? Is it s Linksys, SMC, D-Link? Does it have a built-in Switch? If so, how many ports? If not, what type of Hub or Switch are you using to connect both PCs?

 

Your problem is either DNS resolution, or you have disabled internet access for both computers. If it is DNS resolution, then the problem is with your ISP or something you have misconfigured on your router. If it is disabled, then check your router to make sure you haven't blocked any IP addresses from the 'Net.

 

Another thing to consider is how your internet was set up. Did you originally just have one computer hooked up to the broadband, with the modem plugged directly into the computer? Some ISPs require a specific hardware address of a NIC card to allow internet access. If that is the case, you should be able to have your router emulate the MAC address of the NIC card you originally were connected to the internet with. That will fix the problem
