Unable to acquire network address

Hi,

New to cable broadband. Want to network 2 computers via (hardwire) router.

Set up on one computer works fine.

Experience "Unable to acquire network address ... ltd/no connectivity etc" with the other.

Repair connection seems to work/refresh DNS etc but then 404 when attempt internet connection

Poss problem with DHCP??

Tried ipconfig ... no joy

The settings for the healthy computer are:

autoconfig ip address: [Removed ISP IP]
default gateway: [Removed ISP IP]

Would an option be to manually configure the problem computer based on the healthy configuration?

If so, what would that configuration be, please?

Of course, an easier suggestion would be even more welcome!

Many thanks,
