Answer 2

I would recommend looking at the network settings on your computer and compare them to the computer that is working. If you pinging this IP address and the request has timed out. This means the connection is basically not working. Can be the physical ethernet cable or network card.

Answer 4

Try opening Internet Explorer, then tools, then options, then connections. In the bottom of the menu screen is one for lan connections, open and set to automatically detect your net work. This may help or may not.

Also make sure the network is not limited in the network connections.

Answer 5

If other computers on the network are fine, the problem is probably with your hard wire (if you are not  wireless), or your own computer NIC card.

Go into Device Manager and DISable your NIC card to your router.  (not the router).

Restart your computer, and the OS should see the NIC as new hardware, and it will install needed new driver.
