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.

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 NO
T fix it:
