Edimax router and windows me??

I`ve just bought a edimax router br6104 and connected my 2 pc`s to the
router and the router to my cable modem and then set up the router.

the problem is the pc running windows me can`t get on the internet the first
pc which is windows xp pro has no problems
the router has given the 2 pc`s different ip addresses

and I can ping the router and the pc running xp ok
green leds on port 1 & 2 are flashing ok (tried swapping them same problem)
I`ve set up the 2 pc`s as in the user manual and double checked the config
everything is as it should be in the manual.

the windows me pc worked fine before on the internet
I just set it up to go through the cable modem and moved the cable from pc
to pc as needed.

Anyideas
Thanks

Make sure that you've connected the cable modem to the router's WAN or
Internet port, not to one of its regular LAN ports or to the uplink
port.

Both PCs should get IP addresses in the same subnet, usually in the
192.168.x.x range. What does the me pc show for its IP address,
subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server?

HI

>Both PCs should get IP addresses in the same subnet, usually in the

THE WIN ME COMPUTER HAS THE IP 198.168.2.101 AND XP COMPUTER HAS IP
198.168.2.100

>What does the me pc show for its IP address,

This is on both pc`s
SUBNETMASK 255.255.255.0
DEFAULT GATEWAY 192.168.2.1
DNS SERVER 192.168.2.1
The router looks like it did it`s bit, the problem is in the me computer?.
here`s what the user manual says about setting up windows me;
install TCP/IP done this
properties
check each of the tabs
Bindings: check client for Microsoft networks and printer sharing for
Microsoft networks done this
Gateway: all fields are blank done this
Dns configuration: select disable dns done this.
wins configuration: select disable wins resolution done this
ip address: select obtain ip address automatically done this.

it also says make sure the router`s DHCP is the only server on the lan, how
do i check for this on xp and me systems?

Thanks
Brendan

Hi
in XP goto start, programs, accessories, command prompt.
At the command prompt type: ipconfig/all <Enter>
This will show all IP info.

You should go into your router setup (192.168.2.1) and
add the DNS server 192.168.1.1
