Are you sure your "ADSL Modem" is a router also? What are the actual IP
addresses of both computers?

the modem / router is ok, i have done a 'hard' reset & re set it up.
it has a dns server issuing 192.168.0.2 to 255, the router is 192.168.0.1

What IP addresses do the computers show if you check them?

Ping IP address: yes.
Ping Fully Qualified Domain Name: no.
Sounds like a DNS issue. Is the computer which can't ping FQDNs pulling DNS
server IP addresses from the router? What does winipcfg look like?
Start|Run; type "winipcfg" into the box. Click the "More Info..." button.
Right click on the title bar and click copy. Paste the result into a reply
to this thread.
Should be something like this:

What you see on the "DNS Servers" line depends upon how the computer is
configured. In my case, the DNS servers are on my DSL modem, and the line
points to the modem. More likely you will see two IP address which are not
in the private IP address range of 192.168.0.0/16.

Use the Network Properties. Different between Windows ME, which I have, and
Windows XP, which I don't have access to. You can manually specify the
appropriate DNS servers in the connection properties.

this is what the problem pc is like,
the router is ok at 192.168.0.50
when i put 192.168.0.50 into my browser it says
'internet explorer could not open the search page'
if i type 'http://192.168.0.50' it ignores it.
if i ping 192.168.0.50 at commant propt, it shows good connect figures,
i tried putting on firefox & ie6, its still the same!!

It's extremely unlikely that your router's IP is 192.168.0.50 - it's more
likely to be 192.168.0.1
try that, and see what happens

i had tried it, its now set back to 192.168.0.50
& its alocating ip's 10 to 254, because 1 to 9 are
reserved for printers & 'other' pc's that are
blocked from the internet.
it was working ok 2 weeks ago. other pc's do work
ok with this setting
