See if the network connectivity returns in full or at least partially. Do some additional troubleshooting.

Static IP's can easily cause a conflict due to duplication if you have not reserved a range of addresses for DHCP and assigned a static IP outside of that range.

But if something else is going on then the problems can mask and confuse things. Maybe a bad cable with...
