IE & Outlook suddenly do not see internet gateway

I am using XP Pro SP 1.2
I have Windows Update set to Automatic
Yesterday afternoon suddenly IE & Outlook stopped accessing the internet.
I have 2 Windows machines hard-wired to a LinkSys WRT54G router which
connects to a Cable Modem.
The second machine works fine. IE, Outlook, no problems.

From the first machine I can PING anything on the web, so I know I am

connected. Network Connections says my LAN is Connected. Firewall is OFF.
If I open the LAN Status box and PING something, the Sent & Received packet
counts increment as expected.
If I try to access an IP address (even the LinkSys - 192.168.1.1), the
packet counts do not change.
I have tried running thru both Network Setup and New Connection wizards.
Nothing changes.

Any clue what the f*** is happening???
