Bram, Been there, done that. What I wound up doing was deleting all the network drivers, etc., from each computer and reinstalling them. I am assuming you are working with a Linksys. Somewhere in the bowels of the registry or the driver files, somthing got tweaked that should not have been. Neat thing is, if you print out all your settings, or write them down, the worst thing that will happen is you spend a hour or more reinstalling the drivers and making sure things are cleaned up. Best case (it worked for me) is that suddenly the whole network functions again.
If not Linksys, check to see if you have WEP enabled. If so, try reentering the codes in the correct field (you should have four fields, only one of which matters. I don't know why a WEP can go bad, without showing any sign of being wrong, but it happens. I agree with the other posters. XP handles networking much better. I am glad I switched on most of my computers.
