I would imagine they have an IP conflict. Set all devices to DHCP or manually assign three different IP's one to each device.

Is the 360 set to DHCP? Your PC may be DHCP but the 360 is using the same IP address as the PC. You can manually assign the problem PC by sitting at the PC that doesn't have the problem, going to start, run and type cmd and hit enter. Type IPconfig and hit enter. Note the IP, subnet mask and Default Gateway. On the machine with the problem add 100 to the last octect, so if the IP of the working machine is 192.168.1.5 change the problem PC to 192.168.1.105, the subnet mask and default gateway IP's dont change, so copy use the same ones used on the working PC.
