Wont it be simpler to post the output from ifconfig here? And aventually a traceroute output? :) Honestly i've tried to understand what is the problem (i'm [still] guessing it's dhcp related by the looks of the problem and replies) but i'm not sure i got it...
Yep, that would be rather helpful as a beginning. Unrelated: Top-posting is ugly ;)
Some other notes, from what i read in the thread: most routers also allow for what is often referenced as "static DHCP" which means statically assigning specific IP adresses via DHCP, always to the same machine based on it's MAC adress, which is essentially the same as manually-configured static adresses, but with a lot less hassle and no manual setup required. Also one should not mangle the external IP adress (which is usually assigned by the ISP, under which your router is visible to the internet, and normally can't be changed manually) with your internal adresses. That other part are the IP adresses which you use on your local network, which you can setup any way you want, and that has nothing to do with your ISP. Another thing: When editing /etc/hosts, i wouldn't remove the loopback entries, but only add additional entries if you really need to. This is also another drawback if you manually assign IP adresses and can be easily avoided by properly configuring/using DHCP.

Also firewalls should be switched off at both client computers to rule those out.
