Plot thickens....

Other wired PC's through the switch work correctly - they pickup a new correct IP.

It's something to do with my Vista install...

I've tried reseting the router - back to defaults - picked up an IP on the problem PC...cool...so went and changed the router IP from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.10.1 and setup the DHCP server accordingly - start at 192.168.10.100 - pool of 100 addresses.

Rebooted problem PC - no IP again - switched on another wired PC - got an instant 192.168.10.100 IP address....

WTF is up with my Vista??!!

Could it be the original router I had was also set to 192.168.10.1 and Vista has remembered some settings for this?

Ran a Route Print but did not see the routes in the table....

What is going on!!!!
