After trying everything, I took my desktop into my wife's study, also hard-wired, and it immediately connected via ethernet. So, it had to be bad wiring in my office. It was. The electrician came over, reinstalled the plug on the office end, and it worked fine.

Hi,
For all the home/office machines (not roaming), I suggest you to use static addresses.
That's more efficient and avoids troubles with DHCP client/server dialogs.
For example, if your router LAN IP is 192.168.1.1 you can give addresses like 192.168.1.xxx to your PC's (mask 255.255.255.0) with Gateway and DNS set to 192.168.1.1.
