Gene,

It could still be a case of a crossover cable being used. Many newer 
computers, especially if the ethernet port is a Gbit interface, probably 
have auto-MDI/MDIX switching, meaning that the other computer that works 
is possibly automatically switching to compensate for the crossover, 
whereas the problem computer is not capable of doing so.

It is a very simple thing to try a different cable that is known to be a 
straight cable.

Thanks for your good suggestion however, that is not the problem in this
case.  Cable works fine when used on other computer connected to the router.
