More info?)
If the problem computer can access the internet through the same hub+router
as the rest of the machines, it DOES have a connection to the network. Check
the router setup for DHCP and make sure that you list enough addresses
available to get a separate IP for each machine.
With DHCP, you should have the same subnet for all systems. Make double sure
the Workgroup is the same.
If you remove all LAN connections on that machine and start from scratch,
you might get lucky.
