I think -no way-

but help you better could you please describe your network better?

what is the IP/mask/def_gateway of the two PCs the working and not working?

The IP of the router they are using to get the Internet?

Also you can try this.

use this command on the working and not working PC

tcpdump -i any -s 1500 -w capture.cap

--- first turn off the firewall on the working PC --- then analyse
these files with Ethereal software, or if you want put the files where
we I can download them and I will try to help you.

If you do not have tcpdump use

$yum install tcpdump
