Ubuntu Networking :: Eth1 Wirelessif Toshiba Satillite A25-S207 Won't Connect

I've been trying to get my old laptop (Toshiba Satillite A25-S207) to come up on my LAN and connect through a LINKSYS ROUTER WRT 160N V3. My router has been operational for at leased 2 months with no problems. The status logs reveal all other devices are connected. The Toshiba eth1 does not show in the router log during any attempts to connect. Also, pinging from the Toshiba laptop to the router's IP:192.168.1.1 times out. Using the ping routine from the routers internal diagnostics menu times out for the laptop.I have gone over the FAQ's and post concerning troubleshooting and setup of the wireless network interface. I have dumped wireless information as "super-user" using the suggested routines (i.e. lshw, lspci and the system test from the ADMINISTRATION MENU from the desktop task bar,etc...)

These have revealed I do have some sort of configuration problem or conflict. I'm just not savvee enough to work this out. The wireless interface apparently is using the orinoco driver and the wired interface eth0 is using 8139too driver.I forgot to add, that the router is secured by WEP key. Also, I disabled the WEP which did not change the connection problem. I used the manual setup from the taskbar and made incremental changes with the encryption setting with no results. I didn't expect to affect the status. Because, I noticed that the WEP key didn't seem to configure in the settings the interface as reflected by the attached text.
