2wire 1800hg Router connection problems

Both computers will have an IP address that is different.
The router is giving each computer the IP address.
So if computer 1 gets something like 192.168.1.2 then computer 2 can't have the same number so will get something like 192.168.1.3 .
The router in the example above is most likely 192.168.1.1.
You need to find out the router IP address (it may differ from above as they are only for reference) and then connect to its built in setup pages and confirm that the settings it is trying to use to connect to the internet are correct. The router is an ADSL device so maybe you don't actually need a modem as well.
The router manual will be a great place to start.

Just to check a detail. You mention 'modem' in your description...the 2wire has an inbuilt modem and plugs straight into the telephone line - you're not plugging another modem into it are you?
What does the setup look like?
Is that right?
FYI, The 2wire 1800 has a default gateway (i.e router address) of 192.168.1.254 if i remember correctly which is the number you type into Internet Explorer to access the settings. This should also be the number that shows up in the default gateway part of the connection settings for both PC's. PC's should have something like 192.168.1.60 and 192.168.1.61 if I'm still thinking straight.
