The four DG834G LAN ports are all auto-uplink so it doesn't matter whether
you use straight through or swapped (nul-modem) ethernet cables.
If you have tried connecting the laptop using a port and a cable which
both worked fine with one of your PCs, then the problem is in the laptop.
It may be a problem with the hardware or the configuration. Could the
event which killed the previous modem/router also have damaged the laptop?
Assuming you are using XP, go to the laptop's Network Connections and
check that the Local Area Connection is enabled.
