PC won't recognize router

Hi! I have a Linksys WRT120N home router, and it works fine but I have a problem with it.

 

One day I wanted to forward a port to create a game server, I looked up tutorials, did as it was said but it didn't work, so I reset all the settings where they were before. But somehow my desktop couldn't recognize it when it was connected via ethernet. Wireless worked just fine, the laptop could connect both ways, tablets worked. I've tried a couple of things, reset the router, the IP protocoll of my desktop, resetting local connection etc., nothing worked.

 

Today I wanted to try it again. I reset the protocoll again, put the router into factory mode. Desktop couldn't identify it. I reconfigured it and updated the firmware, still nothing. And i just realized that now my laptop too fails to connect via ethernet. Local connection isn't disablen on any of the computers. 

I'm using win7 64bit on desktop and 32bit on laptop

 

If anyone could help that would be awesome :D
