Default XP sees network, doesn't see gateway

Hi:
I have a home network set up with several computers.
My ADSL connection is through a gateway connected to a switch, which
connects to all the computers in the system. Everything works fine in
the LAN, and all the boxes have internet connectivity.
Recently I added a WinXP Pro (SP1) box. There's nothing on it except
the OS, IE6, and a run of windows updates.
The new XP box connects to the LAN ok, but I can't get it to see the
gateway.

Things I've tried:

-- control panal/network connections/set up network wizard, trying
both the "...connects through a gateway" and "other/connects through a
hub" (which is the most accurate selection).
--The XP firewall is disabled.
--Under internet options/LAN settings, "automatically detect
settings" both on and off.
--I've compared the settings for internet options, and tcp/ip to the
settings on the other boxes, and made them all identical.
--If I try the CD which came with the gateway, I get an error saying
it can't find it.
--If I type the gateway's IP into Internet Explorer to set it up
manually, I get a "page cannot be displayed".

The one other thing I noticed -- when I first set up the XP box, I was
able to get it onto the network and to the net. After downloading the
20 or so critical updates in one batch, I started having the problem.

Anybody know? Thank you for any help.
