What OS is on the problem PC. I believe you still have to do default gateway manually don't you?? I can't remember as I went back to static IP addressing on my home LAN a while back. Of course if you didn't manually enter the default gateway on the other 2 PC's then you probably shouldn't have to on this one, but I would manually enter it if it isn't there.
I think DHCP just takes care of the IP and subnet mask. On your router do you have the proper range set under DHCP. Do an ipconfig on that problem PC and see just what kind of IP addressing it has!! If win 95/98 you can run winipcfg, or winxp/2000, go to the command prompt and type ipconfig to see what you have!
