I have a LAN set up with 2 computers through a DSL router. 1 of the computers cannot access the internet through the router, but can access the net if plugged directly to the DSL modem. What are some possible settings (other than LAN properties and Internet Explorer properties) that I may have overlooked do I need to check in order to fix this problem??

You need to either run NAT or ICS. My suspicion is that you got broadband on one machine and then hooked up another. That's not a problem but you still need to configure the software. If, on the second machine, you want to throw security to the windthen just set your default gateway to the IP address of the router.

You need InternetGate, available from cnet.com. Assign an 'intranet' between the two machines using TCP/IP addresses 172.16.1.1 for the machine connected to the router and 172.16.1.2 for the client. Set both subnet masks to 255.255.255.0

Set IE on the client to connect using a LAN to proxy address 172.16.1.1. Set the dialer on the DSL machine to access the net as requested by the client. Full instructions are included with the download.
