Please re enable DHCP on the second computer (the one not directly connected to
the internet). Do you have internet service there?

With internet service hopefully working for both computers, provide ipconfig
information for each computer.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.
Identify operating system (by name and version) with each ipconfig listing.

How do you connect the two computers?

How does the first connect to the broadband modem? What brand and model modem
is it?

Please provide details what "stopped working" yesterday?

Cheers,
Chuck
