Network has 3 computers on it, all with internet connectivity. 2 xp machines, 1 vista.

New Computer (XP SP2): Installed all drivers on mobo cd, including ethernet. Took cable out of vista machine and put in new computer. Limited or no connectivity.

Any help is appreciated, this is a Christmas gift for a person on another network. I'd really like her to just be able to plug and play tomorrow.
 
My brother setup my "network" and I have been filtering this through him. He just put another computer on the router and it picked up internet right away. So I would say there is some form of DHCP being used.
 
Well that's something you will need to know for sure. From this point on it's just checking your router config against your computers network config eg if your router is configured as a DHCP server then your computer should be configured as a DHCP client, if your router uses MAC filtering then make sure the computers MAC is added to the list.
