Assuming you want the desktop to be server, assign an ip like 192.168.0.1 and also use it at default gateway, subnet can be 255.255.255.0. Now in win 7 laptop network center use another ip 192.68.0.2 and gateway 192.168.0.1(ip of 1st pc). If your cable is good and lan card working on both sides then this should make both connect without any problems. try pinging each ther's ip's to be sure.
