What IP is the machine getting? If the IP starts with 169 then it's a sign
that the machine cannot get a IP from the DHCP server that's going allow
the machine to access the WAN. The 169. IP will allow the machines to
access each other on the LAN. That's if you're getting the 169 IP, which
usually indicates there is a misconfiguration with the NIC and it could
also lead to the TCP/IP Stack on the mahine being hosed *locked* and cannot
release the 169 IP.

What O/S?
