I read through this whole thing and it seems a little f*ed up. I would try a static ip address, and disable the windows firewall, and just utilize the firewall on the router.
OR
Get a SWITCH or HUB and I doubt you will have any problems from that.
OR (if you cheap like me and need a solution without spending a dime)
If you get "booted off" next time, run the command ipconfig in prompt, if you still have an address like (192.168.1.XXX) or (10.127.1.XXX) then your network card is fine. Go to another pc in the home and try to ping your computer ( c:\ping 192.168.1.XXX(yourpcip) ) if that works, then you know the router works fine. The problem must be somewhere else.
Ill keep checking back here...
