On the hardware side, because I can't speak to windoze at all, check to see that where you plug the network cable into the computer has at least one steady light. If that isn't there, the card is bad or the network isn't touching the 'puter.

Split the problem in half. Move a known good computer to the site and verify operation. That removes the network question.

From there, verify hardware operation, however one does that in windoze.

I'd say use dmesg and tail /var/log/messages if you were running a normal machine.
