US Robotics Cable Router

This evening I am going to a friends house to see if we can sort a problem
with his home network and I wondered if anyone had any thoughts on what
might be the cause of the problem.
His set up is an NTL (Virgin?) cable system. The standard NTL cable modem
feeds the US Robotics router via an Ethernet cable. There are then two
computers A and B plugged into the router, again by Ethernet cable. If
only one computer is on, it connects perfectly well to the internet, but if
both computers are on they freeze when attempting to access the internet.
He has tried switching the cables around to no effect although I intend
taking a couple more to try out. Other than that, my thoughts so far are
a faulty network card, although that seems unlikely as each PC works when it
is connected on its own, or a problem with the router's switch. I have a
switch in my own system which I will take round and connect between his
router and the computers.
Is there anything else that anyone is aware of that could cause this
problem?
