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.

The Router Manager on the Main system (which pings internet names OK)
shows
the Lan IP to be 192.168.1.1, default gateway 217.47.74.143, primary DNS
server 194.72.9.38, secondary server 62.6.40.162. So should I eneter the
default gateway IP on the W2000 system? (I don't understand why
automatically assigning an IP address didn't work in the first place).

There is nothing wrong with your default gateway. If there was
then you would not be able to ping any external IP address.

Thanks for your continued help Pegasus. Now I've entered IP 192.168.1.6,
subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, default gateway 192.168.1.1, Preferred DNS server
194.72.9.38, alternative DNS server 62.6.40.162, which are the settings
given by the router manager on the system that is ethernet-connected to the
router (although the terminology there is "Primary DNS../Secondary DNS..").
No change: the systems ping each other, and the Win2000 system still pings a
numeric IP address OK, but not its alphabetical equivalent.
I'm puzzled that ipconfig on the Main computer says the DNS server is
192.168.1.1, which is not what the router manager tells me, and that the
Default Gateway is shown as 217.47.74.143 by the router manager, and
192.168.1.1 by ipconfig.
