The modem connection is probably 10Mbps, the router is 100Mbps. The
tolerances are *far* different. Also, the MDX of the modem may be opposite.

Why don't you just stop arguing with us and try it? Go
grab/buy/beg/borrow/steal a good quality pre-made CAT5e or CAT6 straight
through cable of at least 6 feet in length, and a similar crossover cable,
and try them both.

Did you update the NIC driver on your laptop like I suggested before? Or
are you going to tell me it connects to something else, therefore it can't
be at fault? (wonderful logic by which you can absolve everything in your
setup, hence never solve the problem)
