Default Connected wirelessly but no internet connection

I have 2 PCs that connects to a DSL router(set up to another PC). The first PC has a Belkin USB wireless card and connects to the router with a very good signal. It can also connects to the Internet with no problem.
I have a second PC with also a Belkin USB wireless card. It connects to the router and the signal strength is vey good but canoot connect to the Internet. When using DHCP on this card, it grabs a different series of IP. The range that was set up for my router is 192.168.0.1-100. Router IP is set to 192.168.0.1. I forced the second PC to not use DHCP and enter an IP as 192.168.0.4, Subnet as 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway as 192.168.0.1 and DNS as 192.168.0.1. This is the result of my ipconfig /all from the router. Even with static IP , I still cant connect to the net. Any ideas/help is greatly appreciated.

Just a quick tip. You said...

Technically, the range should be 192.168.0.2 - 100. Having 192.168.0.1 in your DHCP range, and having your router set to the same, could allow the DHCP to assign the same IP as the router's! I know, it sounds like a long shot. But I've seen it first-hand with DLink back in the 802.11b days. You'd think the firmware would be smart enough to look at IPs in use, but it fails back to "you get what you pay for".

That won't fix your issue as you set static IP and it still did not work. So you are saying you have one wifi client that works, and the other wifi client does not work?

Here's something to try: Setting the static IP again (given you have the settings right), and try to ping the router/gateway. And try to ping your other PC. This will narrow down if it's the router not handling the requests to the net, or actually the wifi client connection to the router.

C:\> ping 192.168.0.1

If you can, that means you are getting to the router and you'd need to look at your router's settings. I remember an old DSL WiFi router I setup once that only allowed 1 wifi client at a time. I want to say it was a Belkin DSL WiFi router, if I remember.

If you can't, it still may be the router not allowing the WiFi connection.

I'll keep an eye out for your reply.
