Are you manually specifying your TCP/IP configuration on your two machines? I mean, you shouldn't have to, but it can't hurt. Try doing: Computer 1 IP: 192.168.0.45 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.0.1 DNS: 192.168.0.1 (or your ISP's DNS) Computer 2 IP: 192.168.0.45 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.0.1 DNS: 192.168.0.1 (or your ISP's DNS) I'm assuming that your router defaulted to 192.168.0.1 for its LAN IP address.
