Hi,
You say another PC works fine to the netgear, it is of course possible that your DCHP address has not timed out for that PC and infact the routers DHCP server has died. A simple test would be to do a ipconfig / release then renew on the working PC to ensure that your router is still operational.
As to the Pc with the problem, first I would check the hardware in this Pc, what does device manager day. Then see if the IP stack is up drop to dos and do a ping 127.0.0.1 this will see if it can see the card locally.
Do you get any IP address assigned? I would go with what the static address to check its not DHCP.
If this fails it could be the slot the nic is plugged into, try another.
If that all dont work, you are back to the question has windows killed the driver and you need to re-install.
