So, you mean when you plug the laptop directly into the modem, it becomes active?
Yes. When I plug the ethernet cable into the side of my laptop (instead of the WAN port in the router) the LAN connection becomes active. These are the results from running NETSH DIAG GUI. (The Network Adapters PASSED, but acouple of other things FAILED-- something for Internet Outlook Express)
Here are those results:
