AFAIK at this stage of network handshake nothing is likely to stop
communication between the two machines (yours and win server) except
if the dhcp server is set to allot IP's only to know MAC numbers. So
that or cable is likely culprit if the settings on you machine are set
to getting IP from a dhcpd server.
Do post back if things get resolved.
