Looks like it's definitely the router, and something beyond my control. It looks to me like the WAN port on the router itself is DEAD. I'm looking at the LEDs on the front, and with SOLELY the power cable plugged into it, no ethernet, no wireless connections, the WAN link LED is on. It probably...

Bump! Still need help with this! Anyone?

When everything is connected through the router, the router's WAN Link LED lights up, the Act (Activity) LED does not. As for the cable modem, when it is connected to the router, only the Power and Cable LEDs light. The PC and Data LEDs do not. Edit: Just tried the MACs of the Laptop's NICs...
