I'm guessing here but...

Sounds like a bug in the router + DHCP hassles. i.e The router is only registering new connections with each DHCP request.

Try setting a fixed IP for the PC. Or switching to auto if it had a fixed IP.

Have you tried uninstalling the NIC and then installing it again, using the Vista equivalent of XP's "add hardware" in the control panel? It solved a somewhat similar situation I had in XP.
