This may sound stupid...

When the laptop was first hooked to the network, did you set it as a home, public, or an office network? Windows 7 does this weird thing sometimes where it won't let you access other computers on a network (beyond pinging them) if you set it as anything other than home. It's bitten me a few times.

Luck,

Sparks

I love to take things apart. The fact that they work better when I put them back together it just a bonus.
