Limited or no connectivity
Interesting problem here. We have a remote site with about 5-6 PCs on that network. They all use DHCP off the router to obtain their IPs. All the computers work except one. Keeps prompted me for limited or no connectivity. I tried assigning it a static address on that network and it won't let me ping anything on that network. I've done a loopback test and looekd athe most recent drivers and they work fine.
The computer can connect fine to wireless, but can not wired. I had the laptop swapped out with another on a docking station that I know works to elimiate any bad cabling and still experience the same issue.
I can not ping the router either when I assign it a static address.
IBM Laptop T61 series, currently updating everything on Windows XP. Attempted a DNS flush and still the same results.

Could it possibly be just a defective nic in that laptop?
Especially considering that the wireless works fine. Maybe there is some physical damage to the embedded nic card.
What about a bad docking station?
Im sorry didn't read carefully, you already ruled this out as Soulja mentions it sounds like a bad NIC card....

I eliminated the possiblity of cabling and docking station by putting it on one that i know works. Also after we sent it out, it worked fine in here and was able to pull an IP fine. Only thing in the event log that is showing is

Did you try updating the wired driver? ... Thinkpads_User
Is your network blocking the laptop mac address via a NAC??
Also what is the ipconfig /all say about the configuration(s)?

Is this the wired IP or the wireless, please define...
