The router is Netgear RangeMax On machine that connects, settings are: IP 192.168.0.4 IPv4 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Default gateway 192.168.0.1 DNS settings obtained automatically On machine that doesn't connect, settings are: IP 192.168.0.25 Subnet 255.255.255.0 Default gateway 192.168.0.1 DNS: 4.2.2.2 Alternate 4.2.2.1

It looks like the router is acting as a DNS proxy, so the DNS address will/should point to the router -> 192.168.0.1
