    Can you ping from both machines to the gateway?

    Some routers have a built-in ping utility somewhere in their web
    interface; if yours has it, can you ping your desktop and/or laptop from
    there?

    Sometimes it can help to analyze what's physically travelling over the
    wire (or the air, in case of wireless) with tools like ethereal.
