The first thing I would check would be your NIC. Take your wife's laptop and connect it to the ethernet cable that is currently going to your computer. Look at the Network Connections control panel. If the local connection lights up and connects, your problem is almost certainly your NIC.
They are pretty cheap ($15 or so). Go pick yourself up a new one and slap that puppy in there.
