Buffalo WHR-G54S and W98SE issues (somewhat OT)

I finally installed W98SE on a NetVista 8364 [on a 4GB CF card]. It is wired to a WHR-G54S, it can transfer files via M$ Network Neighborhood, but it fails to connect past the upstairs router. I have a

760XL, also wired to the same WHR-G54S, that can get out to the internet just fine. So it appears the settings on the WHR-G54S are working.

The Netvista can ping the upstairs router at 192.168.1.2, but the ping times out for the downstairs router, 192.168.1.1, further, it can access the upper router via HTTPS inside of FireFox, but fails to resolve 192.68.1.1 Running WINIPCFG shows the downstairs router as the DHCP server. I see the Netvista is listed on the downstairs router as having a valid DHCP lease.

The 760XL can ping both the upstairs router (192.168.1.2) AND the downstairs router (192.168.1.1), and in addition, it can access both WHR-G54S via HTTPS.

Network properties for both systems are identical for TCP/IP. Went through them screen by screen. I'm stumped. I had three different systems wired to the upstairs router, and they all could access the internet. Now there is only this 760XL and the 8364.
