I had something odd happen to me with my router. I set up two computers to use 
a router. When I tried to use my PDA with the router it wouldn't work. The 
router log files showed the connect attempts from the PDA. It turned out that 
MAC filtering had gotten turned on in the router somehow. At least I didn't 
remember enabling it.

I would check the log files of the router to see if it tells you anything 
about the attempts to ping the router or access the Internet from the 2nd 
machine. You should also check the filter and permission settings of the router.
