Hi Jan.

I wrote you a long explanation below, but it boils down to trying this:

Set the starting DHCP address to 10.0.0.4 on the router. It is in the
screenshot you sent me the field where the IP is 10.0.0.3, just change that
to 4 and save. Then restart both computers. PC2 SHOULD remain the same, and
PC1 should get a new IP if it is set to DHCP.

If PC1's IP does not change, you know for sure that it is not getting an IP
via DHCP.

You can also do:

ip ro sh

On pc1 and see if your gateway address is 10.0.0.2. If this is not the case
you will not get internet access with this machine.

Regards

ip ro sh

on this machine? I just want to confirm that the gateway is correct here.

until you enter the new address on your printer config. If PC1 is indeed
getting it's address from DHCP and Printer is static you might have to
change this printer IP. BUT, you can also, in the screen where you took the
screenshot, set the DHCP starting address at 10.0.0.4 and leave the printer
alone for now. Restart PC1 and 2, and they should get new IP's. (PC2 should
keep IP no 10.0.0.4 and PC1 should get 10.0.0.4+n (5, 6 etc.)
