Does your computer have the sufficient drivers? If the other computers see the computer on the network, then it's a problem with connecting to the outside. Do you use a LAN card? Or onboard? And if so, have you tried hooking the computer up to the router direct? So it doesn't have any problems with switches.

Try pinging from that machine. If it can ping an IP outside f your network, but not a url, then it's a corrupt winsock, and you should be able to locate a fix by googling.

Also check for proxy settings in internet options.

No, can't ping any IP outside the network, and what should the proxy settings be?
