Kevin,

Does the laptop have needed network components and services?
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/troubleshooting-network-neighborhood.html#Components>

A frequent cause of this sort of problem is a misconfigured or overlooked

Also check for a browser conflict. Run browstat from the laptop, and from the
other computers, and compare results.
