Troubleshooting steps:

1. Can you ping the router's IP address from each PC?
Run IPCONFIG /ALL to find the Router (Default Gateway) address

2. Does your Internet Explorer use a proxy server? Is it the correct proxy for your ISP?

3. Did this use to work properly? If so, has anything changed in your system setup recently?

Have you tried the Disk Cleanup tool to clean up your Temporary Internet Files and other Temp files?

How does the machine perform in its non-internet tasks?

Make sure your options in IE/ Tools/ Internet Options/ Advanced are correct.

Uncheck the boxes for "Install on Demand" for IE and Other programs (two boxes).

Try running temporarily with the third box "Enable Third Party Browser Extensions" unchecked and see how this goes.

"This specifies that you want to disable features you installed for use with Internet Explorer that may have been created by companies other than Microsoft.
If you encounter problems with Internet Explorer that you cannot resolve, you can use this option to help determine if third-party features are causing the problems without uninstalling the feature. You must restart Internet Explorer after turning this option on or off."
