You don't say what IP the router is.. Typical Manual Settings: Router: IP: 192.168.0.1 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 PC1: IP: 192.168.0.2 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1 PC2: IP: 192.168.0.3 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1 You may set your DNS servers in the router (or it may be automatic) or manually put them into each PC. You should also be able to use the router's IP as a DNS server.
