If you did not change anything with your cabling, then its probably software
A good way to check is to open a command prompt and type
"ipconfig /renew"
If you get a message like "so and so is not a socket" some rouge software has messed up tcp-ip, maybe a firewall or some adware type junk.

You're looking a bit too high up the stack there, it's not a software issue unless it's a device driver issue, so best bet is hardware or ring-0 software.
1) Try changing the network card on the PC to 100Mbit full duplex, might be duplex sensing that's munted.
2) Reinstall network card driver on the affected PC.
3) Panic and consider investing in a new network card
