JoeA,
My reasoned mind tells me it isn't the router if I plug in an otherwise able-bodied computer (A) into a router port that was just 5 seconds ago connected to another (B) and was able to connect to the internet, and then (A) still doesn't work.
Perhaps that's why I'm not a computer geek. Car geek yes.
I'll try your suggestion tomorrow: plugging the other two directly into the DSL modem, but I have no doubt they will all work connected in this manner. I just thought there was some network setting inside the computer(s) that automatically changed to disallow access (virus?).
Seems like a trip to the computer store is in order. I currently have a 4-port SMC router. Any brand demonstrably better/longer lasting?
