192.168.0.7 is the one not working.
It has a correct ip for the internal network. Therefore it can be seen by the router and it can see the router.
If it has a fire wall, turn it off.
Is the router blocking that address from accessing the internet/outside your intranet.
Turn off your router and all computers. Wait 2mins, turn on router wait for all green lights to come up; then turn on this computer - next wait for this to boot up to the desktop.
Does it come up with a different ip address. and can it connect to the internet.
You can now turn on the other computers and do their ips change?0 -

No infections

Ping 8.8.8.8
And if it is successful, manually assign your DNS entries to...
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
Then check by pinging google.com
If OK, it should then be working.
I had a problem with these large Virgin 50MB modems and the DNS broke on 2 that I tried, but only with both Windows 7, but XP was fine.0 -
