# It's on wireless, i take it?
Got the latest drivers? Also, there's usually some setting in the wireless configuration bit that does it, like disabling smart card wotsit.

Ethernet, you say? Have you tried the same cable on both connections? Have you gone into your router settings and allowed both computers?

Also, sound stupid, but have you checked that the LAN connection is set to automatically connect and find settings?

# It's wired.
It's not the wire, as it's actively receiving the network connection no problems at all. The router is forwarding the connection perfectly too. I figure it's either a Firewall conflicting, or perhaps the PC is on its last legs (it has been for a while).

# Ha, I was right. Zone Alarms must've updated and conflicted with the hardware firewall.
SILLY.

THANKS ALL.

# Ah yes, zone alarm
The latest update from microsoft has serious conflicts with Zone Alarm. You need to download the latest ZA and install that. There's a load on that on the ZA site
