Sherwood,
Not sure how to do this on a Mac but is there something like a device manager on the computer? On a PC you go to the device manager, select the device you are interested in and go to properties. It will then tell you if the device is working properly or not.
Also, does the Mac have lights that flash when data is transfered to the network cable? Do they flash on the two "inop" computers when plugged in?
I am curious if your NIC (network adapter) is working on the two that are not talking to the router. Can you plug all four computers in the router and talk or share files and drives between the four computers? If you are still having problems with these two would wonder if your network card or driver is the issue.
Joe
