p2p problem with speedtouch 510 router/adsl modem

My setup is as follows: 2 pc's both running XP Pro each connected to a router
which is also an adsl modem. When I allow DHCP both pc's can connect to the
internet, but can't see each other. When I set IP's to 192.168.254.1 and 2
with 255.255.255.0 subnet mask the to pc's talk to each other but cannot
access the internet.The router/modem is a speedtouch 510 with the latest
drivers installed.

Any ideas anyone?
