I have four computers on a LAN but suddenly one will not go online.

I have turned every thing off, Modem, router, all four computers, for more
than ten minets. Then turn on the modem wait for all the lights to turn
green, then power on the router and wait for the green lights, then plug
in
each cable one at a time and wait for the light to come on then the next
cable until all four are installed with lights on. Then turn on each
computer, making sure that it can go online before turning on the next one
and so on till all four are on.

I have tried changing to another port on the router with the computer that
won't go online. No Joy
Changed the NIC card to another PCI slot. Changed the NIC card for a known
working one. No Joy
Then swapped cables, still NO JOY!
What the Heck is it !?!
Also every time I did something, Windows still tells me it is connected.

Last night I saved what files I wanted, and wiped the hard drive clean,
then
installed windows XP home edition, and It Still Does the Same Thing!!!

During your testing did you ever try powering on only the affected computer
and see if it could then connect to the internet? If it works and now the
last one powered on can not connect it is time to check the range (number
of IP address) the router is presently configured to assign.

On one working and the affected computer try opening a Command window.
Start-Programs-Accessories-Command Prompt
Then issue the command ipconfig /all and see how they compare.
Do they both get assigned an IP address in the same subnet, DNS servers,
etc.?
