My desktop uses wired networking. While my laptop is capable of utilizing both wired and wireless interfaces. My modem is a TP-LINK ADSL + wireless router.
Wired networking stopped working on both the desktop and laptop, while the wireless networking continues to work on my laptop.
Tried using a different cable. Still no luck.
Is there a way to check if there's anything amiss with my modem?
Thanks.

Ditto here. Never touched the 'interfaces' file and it's commented out. I'm
using network manager (or whatever that gnome thingy is called). It all "just
worked."
But I only have a wired, eth0 connection, and no wireless. You have wired and
wireless up and going at the same time? How does that work? Or doesn't it? Or
the wired didn't work, so you connected yourself up wirelessly? Wouldn't it be
interesting to see your /etc/network/interfaces file? Here's mine (working,
wired):
curty@einstein:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
#NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp
