Network PC Disconnects Internet Access for all users after Login

Small network (6 users) w/ the 7th PC acting as the server all running XP Pro

When one of the PC's (always the same one) logins after being turned off all night it drops the internet connection for all users. The connection will only come back after restartng the "server pc". This only happens in the morning and not if the user restarts the PC during the day.

I assumed this was an IP address conflict so I set all the users and the server pc to static ip's and it's still an issue.

Edit: All users can still access network files when the issue happens, just not internet access

Any ideas?

Is there an issue with port 80 being blocked?
