Tell us more.
As well as details of the Netgear router, the model number, how are you trying to connect these PCs? Wired to the Ethernet ports on the router?
What happens on the tower that won't connect? Any error messages?
The more detail you can provide, the quicker we can offer suggestions.

We still don't know what happens when you try to connect the second computer.
There are usually error messages or prompts of some sort when you try to plug it in.
