IE6 not connecting to net

I'm not sure if this is the right group to be posting this - if not please
let me know.

I have 2 machines connected to the net and each other via a d-link router
and dsl modem.
Machine 1 connects to the net just fine.
Machine 2 while it can access everything on machine 1 cannot connect to the
net.
I know the router and cable between the macchines is good.
On machine 2, under Network Connections , the LAN status is connected &
good.

It was setup with the Network Setup Wizard and selecting the option which is
to connect through another computer on my network.

There is no firewall or antivirus that i can see checked to prevent the
internet connection.

I looked at someone elses similar setup to see what I'm missing and found
under Network Connections there is something called Internet Gateway - is
this it? And if so how do I set it up

thanks

If you have a router between you and the DSL modem, you do not want the
setup option which is to connect through another computer. Computer 2
connects directly to the internet (via the router) same as computer 1. Try
that setup option.
