I would suspect that the cable you're using (for the PC that can't connect), could be a cross-over cable. Was that the one you previously used to connect the 2 PCs directly?
Try borrowing the network cable from the PC that does connect, and using that on the one which doesn't work, to see if that fixes it (or moving the PC to the end of the cable, whichever is easiest). If it does, then I think it's the wrong cable.
Worth a try anyway.
