can't ping router from kubuntu laptop

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to copy 80 GB of data from my desktop PC to my laptop. Both
are connected to my linksys wrt54g routeur via ethernet, but the
problem is that I cannot ping the router (192.168.1.1) from the laptop
(192.168.1.103)... Does anybody know why ?

Sorry, my crystal ball is broken. So you'll have to give a little
bit more information.

No, we don't. You'll have to give a bit more information on your setup.
Why are you trying to ping the router? Have you tried pinging your
desktop? And, you do know that 'ping' is not the correct application to
copy data, don't you? 'ftp' works much better.
