1. Does the router have DHCP? I would probably go ahead and use it with just 2 computers. Otherwise, turn it off.

2. Get rid of the security for now and see if you can connect.

3. Just how far apart is the wireless computer to the router? Wireless DOES have its limits

4. Do "Start-Run-CMD" Type ipconfig at the command prompt. Are you seeing your static IP you assigned on computer 2?
