If the answer to my question is 'yes' it very much seems to me it's the router. It seems like the router would not allow your computer out on the internet. BTW, you didn't specify how is you computer connected to the router: through a switch or does the router have an integrated switch? Did you also try to use a different port (maybe the one of the computer that works). Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. (Albert Einstein)
