There was slight confusion while following those instructions.
After "ipconfig", I get this:
Windows IP Configuration

This is a wireles adapter , prob not what you need to list (or concentrate on)
If you are using a cross-over lan cable.
It btw has a strange ip address (169.254.x.x) are addresses that Win assigns if an adapter is set to use DHCP , and no DHCP server is found.
But the strange part here is that since it's up , it ought to be associated to an AP , and AP's (Routers) usually has a working DHCP server , and you should not have ended up with a 169.254.x.x address.
Did you give your wireless adapter a static address, instead of running DHCP ?

This is a Virtualbox adapter , and is probably not the adapter you connected the Lan cable to.
with multiple lines of "Media Disconnected" in between and around.
I think your problem is hidden in the above statement.
You haven't listed a single working Physical Wired Lan adapter yet.
And that is what your Cross-Over cable has to be connected to.
When you connect the Fluke & the PC via the cable , do you get any "Link" ?
I mean is the Lan adapter LED's turning on in the PC-End ?
If not the cable isn't a crossover , or there is some other error.
I don't have a Fluke (I'm a HP Guy ...) , but does the fluke have lan leds on the Lanport ?
Robrenz ... ?
