One was running like a charm, the other one got an IP from DHCP but no gateway and no networking was available on it.

First I thought it is something hardware. Since I had a dual-boot environment on that machine, I booted in Ubuntu and saw that I had also a gateway there and internet was working seamlessly. So it was all about Windows XP…

After lots of formus read, after reinstalling wireless card driver many times, I finally found a solution here, as
- in Windows XP SP2 some repair options were added through netsh command:

So, open a command prompt (Start->Run->type cmd):
1. Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults:

netsh winsock reset catalog

2. Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults:

netsh int ip reset reset.log

3. Reboot and test.

These commands are not deleting your current network configuration, but a suggestion would be to try just the first command first.
For me it solved the problem.

Good luck!
