OK...
1. The pings to the localhost/127.0.0.1 address indicate that your TCP/IP software stack on the laptop is most likely not corrupt.
2. The 169.254.153.7 auto-configured IP address means that the DHCP client software on the laptop is most likely functioning correctly, but either cannot obtain a valid address from the router's DHCP server, or cannot find the router at all.
3. Did you try connecting the desktop to all of the router's ports to make sure that they work with that computer?
4. Have you tried disconnecting the desktop and connecting the laptop in its place (using the desktop's Ethernet cable as well)?
5. Run the ipconfig /all >"%userprofile%"\desktop\ipconfig.txt command on the desktop machine and post that machine's ipconfig.txt file.
When swithing devices/cabling around, remember that for the best test of connectivity you should power down all of the device each time something is switched. Once connected power the devices back up in the order of: modem first, router second, computers last. Allow each device to complete its power-on self-test and stabilize before powering up the next device.

I finally had someone who knew what they were doing look at it, and somehow I was missing one of my drivers (or something like that, he only spoke Chinese and had his g/f interpreting), so it is working fine now.
I think I accidentally deleted the driver while fiddling with hijackthis... a good lesson to learn though, about not deleting something unless you know what it is.:cheesy:

Glad to hear that you got it working again, though; thanks for the update.
