Or hooked even hooked up properly? Getting a 192.168.X.X address on the working computer (or even a 10.X.X.X and even less likely 172.16.X.X - 172.31.X.X).

Another thing to try is to have DHCP hand out a new different range. Also have any wired client use a static IP.

Run this command to reset the TCP/IP stack on the LAN connection for your NIC. Also uncheck TCP/IPv6 in the properties for the LAN connection. Reboot and see if it helps.
