The new PC, which IS working on the internet through the router shows this:

assigned by DHCP

192.168.0.140

255.255.255.0

192.168.0.140

The main pc, which still doesn't work though the router any more, shows this:

assigned by DHCP

24.155.24.173

255.255.252.0

24.155.27.254

The above settings for the main PC are what works when I have the main PC connected directly to the cable modem, not going through the router. Direct through the cable modem the internet works fine. SO it is just a matter of getting the conn. IP address changed to the same as the new PC, I believe. When I click "repair"...for some unstated reason it cannot repair the connection. (doesn't even say unable to obtain an IP address now). I just need to know how to manually change the connection to the correct numbers.
Then when they are both working through the router, I can tackle the next part of the problem, getting the two PCs to communicate with each other, because I am constantly having to transfer files by means of DVD-RW. Thanks!
