Could you please provide a better description of your network?

PC 1 (main) is connected via a CAT5 patch cord from the network adapter to
the router. What is the router connected to?

PC 2 has a network card, but what device is on the other end of its CAT5
patch cord? How is it connecting to the Internet? Fill in the missing
pieces and a solution will probably come.

As an example, consider my network:

PC 1, running fully patched Windows Me is connected via a CAT5 patch cord
from the network adapter to a LAN port on the router.

PC 2, running fully patched Windows Me is connected via a CAT5 patch cord
from the network adapter to a LAN port on the router.

Game Console 1 is connected via a CAT5 patch cord from the network adapter
to a LAN port on the router.

The WAN port of the router, a Netgear FR114P, is connected to the
Internet...

Notice that I also threw in the router make and model. It probably wouldn't
hurt to mention what kind of Internet connection; Cable? ADSL? Or other? If
ADSL, is the modem in bridge mode, or NAT mode?
