Did you try the traceroute command I gave you? Here it is again:
/usr/sbin/traceroute 208.20.203.226
Run this in an xterm and watch the results. When your packets stop
"hopping", that's where they are dropping. If they never hop once, then
they aren't even leaving eth0 on your laptop. The first hop you see
should be 192.168.0.1 (eth1 on your desktop PC), since that is your
laptop's default gateway.
At this point, I am suspecting the cable, in spite of the fact that you
tested it at your friend's house. But I could certainly be wrong.
