ok here's the deal, we have a third comp (a work laptop) and it's owner always was bypassing the problems he had... now this caused a major problem and it can not connect to the internet anymore (connection through a router). From what I can see, something is preventing it from seeing the network card. I got HJT on it through a floppy and here is the log.
