Network Trouble

[superman]

Hi Im having a very difficult and frustrating time trying to get home network to operate. First, both computers are using an ip address assigned by the router (Linksys 4 port router) using dhcp server. Now all the cabling is correct, ive checked 100 times, but i cant connect to the internet. The cable modem is working fine, all the lights on router are light up. Logging into the router through webpage works. I have only 2 computers trying to network. When i do ipconfig /release, then /renew i get back my cable ip. If anyone has any suggestions, please, I need any help i can get

Hey, no i cant ping out or anything when i have the 192. ip address. Can it be possible that there is something wrong with the dns? Im using Optonline and the cat5 cable is totally fine, since it worked the other day. I had the network working last night, thats why I dont understand what the problem is
