I'm wondering if anyone can help me.
I have a linksys router BEFSR41 (it's about 3 years old). I recently left for the weekend, flipped off my computer, and immediately afterwards my roommate's computer got his cable cut off. He just connected the modem directly to his computer, and went about his way.
I've tried coming back and resetting it, but it doesn't seem to be working. The router will allow the first computer that boots up to have an ip address, but whichever computer comes online 2nd has no internet.
Both computer are running XP SP2, so I ran an ipconfig /all on both. Since I only have access on one computer, I posted mine.

Due to the IP address, this sort of leads me to believe that something is going wrong. My roomate's ip address for ipconfig /all is 192.168.1.100. I always thought the router ips would be 192.168.1.10x, x being from 0 to 3 (we have a 4 port router).
The current setup is cable to modem, modem to uplink, one computer in slot 4 and one in slot 3. Switching the slots around seems to do nothing.
