I look on the back of it and hit the magical RESET key

Yes...As I've said I have reset it many times, even hard reset it. Nothing.

Your router might be dead.

For crying out loud. Guess I have to put it in big font

From what it looks like, the computer isn't receiving the dhcp address from the router and keeps giving itself a local IP.
I've already tried the following
cmd prompt "netsh winsock renew"
cmd prompt "ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew ipconfig /dnsflush"
Restarting the router and modem SEVERAL times.
Manually putting an IP instead of the obtain automatically option
Disabled and re-enabled the Local Area Connection internet adapter
Checked on the gateway website (through this laptop) and saw that this laptop was the only one accessing the network

The router's ports are working. There's nothing wrong with the cable. The router works completely fine LAC on the laptop AND WiFi. It's just not connecting to the DESKTOP.

Did you manually change the IP on your laptop AND change the setting in your router AND modem to Static IP?
You have to change all three or your router may start handing out renewed IPs.
Once you have set an IP specifically for your laptop, forward the ports for the game you want to host on both your modem and router.

I'm not talking about the laptop....I'm using the laptop as a way to access the internet.
I didn't set a static IP for the desktop before I forwarded the ports, I'm assuming that's why it didn't work when I tried setting up the server thing.
Either way, no, I didn't.
If you mean me trying to put the IP of the router and setting a new one instead to try and fix it, I didn't change any settings with the router or the router. Just put one of the IPs the router would use for a computer.
