Ok, Mike, it seems like you are all over the place.

1> You should not be using 194.  Besides the fact that it's not common and non-standard, it might very well be registered to someone.  Which means that you might never understand why certain websites don't work.  That range is registered to some European companies.

2> Ping is your friend.  Use it to figure out what's going on.

Your router is your gateway to the internet.  This means that the IP address of your router should be your default gateway for your computers (whether amiga or otherwise)  That router IP address needs to be on the same network number as the computer.  This means if you are using a 24-bit subnet mask (255.255.255.0), then the first three octets (numbers) need to be the same.   Here's an example:

router IP address/mask: 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0

pc IP address/mask: 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0
pc default gateway: 192.168.0.1
pc dns: 192.168.0.1 (also could be a real world DNS server someplace on the internet)

Ping tests:

Ping from the pc/amiga to 192.168.0.2.  Basically you are trying to ping yourself.

Ping from the pc/amiga to 192.168.0.1.  You should get a reply.

Ping from the pc/amiga to the dns ip address. You should get a reply.

If you can't browse websites, try pinging (one of) google's ip addresses: 74.125.91.103.  This works today, but might not work 2 days or a year from now.  If you can ping a real world ip address, but you can't browse to the corresponding website, you have a dns-related issue.  Check your dns address.

This should get you started.
