with network. Ran setup wizard, but computers will not talk.
On old computer, no computer names are visible in workgroup. (There was a time when it did work, like when I built it and the old pc was the "new". I don't know what happend.)
On new computer, it can see itself. I guess problem is with old computer. Both win xp. DSL 4 port router Westell Versalink 327W. Internet no problem on both. Turned off firewall, didn't not help.
If the old pc can be made to see itself, I could handle the rest ( I think). NetBIOS over tcp/ip is on, computer browser service is on.....I'm lost. Please help.

Your DNS Server IPs are wrong, they are using the routers IP and not the DNS IPs from your ISP. Check your other machine that does connect for the proper DNS IPs that should be used.
There is no problem in using the router as DNS server. This is a normal setup for many and is not the cause of the OP's problems. Since the OP only gave us ipconfig results for one of the computers, I'm assuming that the other one also has an IP address in the 192.168.1.xx subnet.
I beg to differ. Even though many routers have the ability to act as a DNS Server, problems can, will and do arise if certain steps/rules aren't followed. Another issue is toughening up the network, one start is to block/allow ports TCP and UDP 53 properly for security reasons. Opinions may vary, yet that's a portion of my personal opinion on DNS Server/Client domain setups.
