Can not connect or get network DCHP DNS IP on 1 computer other 2 w

[Guest]

HELP! Here is the problem: I have 3 computers all connected to a HUB and then the HUB uplinks to a DSL router. My best/newest computer suddenly stopped being able to “see†the network Monday morning. It was working fine Sunday night, I shut down and then it would not work on Monday morning when I powered up. The other 2 computers work fine. The “broken†computer runs fine with exception that it cannot browse the intranet/local network (can not access the other computers shared folders). It refuses to get a DHCP or DNS. Basically it is acting as if the network card went bad but….when I plug the cable into the HUB it reports it is connected and the light flashes on the HUB as if it were sending tons of information (like when first booting, Dling or playing a game – constant flicker). It never reports receiving any packets via Ethernet connection and keeps flashing as long as it is plugged in. I can access the internet via dial up and it works fine. Here is what I have tried, all of which did NOT fix it:

Specs: AMDathlon3000XP nForce2 MB, with onboard Ethernet, 1gigRAM.

1. Direct connection to Router (can’t be a router issue as the other 2 work AND I can’t get it to even access the local network through the HUB). HUB is a simple network switch with no firewall.
2. New cable/different cables, tried all HUB ports.
3. Unplugged a working cable set up and plugged it into non-working computer.
4. Clean/new install of Windows XP – not an upgrade – overwrote old WinXP (and reinstalled all updates via dial-up) and tried 1-3 again including the latest signed nForce MB drivers (which worked fine before Monday).
5. Installed a new Ethernet network card (disabled onboard in windows and in BIOS). Even tried the supplied drivers with the new card vs. the windowsXP drivers and tried 1-3 again. Windows reports Ethernet is enabled and working via device manager (it did with onboard also).
6. Ran every know virus program including sasser/blaser/stinger/Klez tools AND a tech support online version of Norton Antivirus (no viruses). Plus, it seems counter productive for a virus which propagates via internet to block internet access anyway.
7. Ran Adaware/spybot.
8. Reset BIOS to default (removed and replaced battery)
9. IPCONFIG will not renew (times out), it stays “stuck†on a widows IP address.
10. Confirmed all computers have the Windows firewall disabled.

Everything EXCEPT the network works normally. After trying numerous things via Tech support for computer company (IBUYPOWER.COM), they are sending me a new MB (7 days left on warranty with onsite service LOL). Do you think it can be the MB?

HELP if you can please…

Update after reading more...

Tried the Winsock XP Fix but did not fix problem.
Tried another new network card just in case..no help
Still can not get this one computer to get the DCHP/DNS/IP automatically from the DSL ISP, even if it is connected directly to the router (others do this fine).

ThanX Dr. W

I also would like to add there is not hardware firewall and the winXP firewalls are set to off.

In your Network Connections Properities, do you have a bridge installed?

I am having the exact same problem and appears to have started on Monday this week as well. I hope someone reads this and can provide some assistance.
