Give better details when asking questions, for a start?

Try this, type "ipconfig /all" on a machine that works, and then on one that
doesn't. Besides the IP address, all other information should be the same.
If they're not, well, that's certainly going to be part of the problem.

Post the ipconfig info. That and make/model of the equipment being used.
