Can't ping directly connected devices

I'm trying to configure a 2800 series router. I've done this a hundred times and just can't see what's wrong.

Here's the scenario:

I'm consoled in and put a basic config on the router (see attached). After putting this basic config on, I

plugged it into a small unmanaged switch, changed my laptop's IP and plugged it in the switch also. I can't

ping the router from the laptop and vice versa. This is the second switch I've tried this with, so it must be

something I'm overlooking. The first switch, I installed at location, connected a cisco cable to it and a

local server, so i could remote in and finish configuration. In that scenario, I had plugged the switch into a

managed switch and had the same result as I'm getting now--can't ping IP addresses (can't ping the switch's

IP, not can it ping local IPs). I know this isn't a cable problem, nor a switch port issue. I've checked

those. I can ping the router IP from the router. I've also attached show version.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
