Are all PCs and router using a 192.168.1.x address now? If not, that will be the first change to make as all will need to be on the same range.

Secondly, from Start -> Run, type the following

ping [HOST NAME] where [HOST NAME] is replaced by the name of the host pc - do you get 4 lines beginning "reply" or "timed out". Also note the IP address it is trying to contact. If it is the old one, type ipconfig /flushdns in Start -> Run and this will clear the local name/ip cache. Then try the ping again and see if you get a reply.

Hope that makes sense.
