Do I have to add DNS setting in the TCP/IP dialog box? It seems that
manually selecting an IP address demands an entry here, but I don't
know what. Also, exploring further in Advanced... I get told there
is no WINS server entry. Plus I don't know which to check out of
enable/disable NetBios, or use netbios setting form DHCP server.

You must set your DNS and your Default Gateway addresses
manually to the internal address used by your router, which is
probably 192.168.1.1.

Thanks for the help Pegasus, but I am not flying yet. Yes the router's
address is that, and I entered it so that now I have IP address
192.168.1.6,
subnet mask 255.255.255.0, default gateway 192.168.1.1, Prefered DNS
server
192.168.1.1, and under Advanced/WINS, Enable LMHosts is checked and so
too
is Use Netbios settings from DHCP server. There is nothing in the WINS
window.

While "not flying yet" sounds nicely descriptive, it tells me nothing.
A more informative statement would be if you can ping the router,
other PCs, an Internet site by its IP address, an Internet site by
its name.

Thanks for your reply Pegasus. The Win2000 system can still ping the
router
and the other two PCs OK and they can ping back. Pinging an Internet site
by
its domain name elicited "unknown host"; using the same site's IP address
was successful.
Miles

This means that name resolution does not work. If other PCs on the
same network can ping Internet names successfully then the DNS
entry on your problem PC is incorrect. Compare it with the DNS
entry on successful PCs. If other PCs on the same network cannot
ping Internet names either then the DNS configuration of your
router is incorrect. Ask your ISP for the address of his DNS servers.
