Have you tried updating the drivers for the NIC in the problem PC?

I have the exact same problem, except my network is wireless. I've been asking for help for several days now and it appears nobody has a solid solution.

Have you tried powering down your router and system, then boot up and turn on the router. From a DOS shell, type "ipconfig /release" and then "ipconfig /renew".

Also, be sure your routers scope is wide enough to provide an IP address to the new system. For example, if you have four systems and you're adding a fifth system, your router's IP address scope should handle (e.g.) 192.168.1.100-104 to accomodate all five systems.
