if i may, the fact that you connect to your isp's network via a router and that your 3 machines are in a local area network configuration and that 2 of those machine have full conectivity indicates that your router and the connection your ISP's nework and then onto the internet are working as they should.

you mention that this happened after installing service pack 2? You've probably checked this already, sorry for asking, but have you disabled your personal firewall (the one that sp2 enables by default) if not, do so to aid your trouble shooting at least.

is this a cabled connection between the linksys router and the dogey PC? if it is then you could have speed and duplex problem, most network interface cards(NIC) come preconfigured to auto negotiate speed and duplex, this is common with linksys routers (with a switch built in), on linksys home kit you cant normaly adjust the speed and duplex of the switch port - in these cases it is set to Auto negotiate (which can be problematic)

Try and set the speed and duplex on the NIC on your PC to match the speed of the NIC

ie: 10/100 or 10/100/1000

you can do this in the driver utility in properties.

If your using wireless, check for low power 1st

security (i wont go into detail here) log on to the routers web interface and check the security policy you have set ie: WEP, WPA, check the password, enter it again if you dont know what it is, go to the wireless util in control pannel, check the WEP or WPA box and enter the password.

hope that helps
