Thanks for that information. The default gateway address isn't
properly configured on the second computer, so it doesn't know how to
contact the Internet.

To find the problem, we need to look at the TCP/IP route table. Open
a command prompt window and write the route table to a file:

1. Click Start | Run.

2. Type "cmd" in the box and click OK.

3. Type this command and press Enter:

route print >route.txt

Then, copy and paste the contents of the "route.txt" file into your
news group reply.
