If you are on Windows, please open a command window (Start|Run and then type 
'cmd') and type:

route print

On Linux or Mac, the command would simply be:

route


Do this on both computers, and post the output here. If you are using ip 
addresses only in your URL's the problem isn't with DNS or name lookup so let's 
eliminate a routing problem next.
