Check the port on your laptop. I somehow managed to compress the pin on
my ethernet port down enough so that they only make intermitant contact at
best. A bit of fiddling with a paper clip and how they're back in position
making good contact. I thought it was odd because I rarely use the ethernet
port (gotta love wireless).
If that isn't it you might want to try throwing a small hub/switch between
the laptop and the router.
Oh, and give the ends of your patch cord a good once-over.
