Well, the pings from the laptop to the router are fine, but those from
the desktop machine to the router have many dropped packets. I tried
to switch the Ethernet cable of the desktop machine to the one that is
successfully used by the laptop, but there are still dropped packets
there. Maybe there's a bad NIC on the desktop machine.

Thanks for all your help.
