If you do it on a working machine, what IP address and gateway do you get?

SWMBO's Toshiba laptop: (it doesn't work)
DHCP enabled------------No
IP Address-----------------192.168.1.117
Subnet Mask--------------255.255.255.0
Default Gateway---------192.168.1.254
DNS Servers-------------200 23 242 193
-------------------------------200.23.242.201


SWMBO's Samsung netbook (It works)
DHCP enabled------------Yes
IP Address-----------------192.168.1.102
Subnet Mask--------------255.255.255.0
Default Gateway---------192.168.1.1
DHCP Server-------------192.168.1.1
DNS Servers-------------172.27.35.1

That looked like the most interesting information, but I have to confess that it is all virtually meaningless to me. I think that having DHCP turned off on the Toshiba seems a bit suspicious.

Please understand that if you tell me something like "Yes, that's your problem, just turn DHCP back on and it'll work" will be of little use unless you also tell me exactly [in words of one syllable or less] HOW to accomplish that.

Is the above information useful, or would more data help?
