run ifconfig on each and compare the first 4 lines of the output.

run:
ping -c 2 96.17.74.24
if you get a return, the problem is probably dns related
in the browser, http://192.150.18.117
if you get an adobe error page, the problem is probably dns related
running:
dig adobe.com 
and
nslookup adobe.com
may also provide information 

the dns client resolver is supposed to come with glibc, if dns is
indicated perhaps emerge -uNDeav system ?

also can try ping to local subnet computers by ip addresses and names if
by ip address succeeds and by names fails; check /etc/hosts 
check /etc/samba/lmhosts for samba
