Dan,
Here is the result of pinging, the first time. As you can see, pinging the names of the other computers from computer A did not work. I went to each of those computers and went to Start, Run, CMD and ran ipconfig /all. Neither of these computers had an IP address.

At this point I couldn't even access the internet after unplugging computer A from the router. And as you probably guessed, I couldn't access files on computer A either. Panic!?! I didn't do anything that would cause everything to quit. I plugged Computer A back into the router and I am back to where I was, i.e. both computers can talk to computer A if A is not plugged into the router. So I ran the pings you requested again and the pings to the other computers worked as you can see below. By the way, I have to copy the ping results and save them to a file on A. Then unplug A from the router and access the files I saved on A from one of the other computers, and paste the files into this forum. I would have done it this way before, if I would have thought of it. Sorry for rambling on, but this whole thing has got me

I checked the Protocol and all of the section headings were the same as what you posted.
I then ran the nslookup. Here is what happened:
