The IP addresses that you've assigned to the computers are wrong --
they must be in the same 192.168.123.x subnet as the router. Try
192.168.123.1 and 192.168.123.2.

I usually find it better to configure the computers to obtain an IP
address automatically, so that the router gives them their
configurations via DHCP.
