Jon,

Hosts and LMHosts are local, fixed name resolution caches on your computer,
invented before the concept of DNS. Their contents may cause the computer to
ignore use of dynamic name resolution like DNS, name broadcast, and / or WINS.

Laptop should have an IP address of 192.168.1.104 (per your change), but if
there was, for instance, an entry:
"192.168.1.103 Laptop" (less the "")
in either Hosts or LMHosts on Gateway, that would cause the discrepancy in the
way it appears to be addressing Laptop.

Gateway appearing to resolve its own IP address to "::1", on the other hand, is
either a corruption problem, or a remnant of IPV6. Yet I saw no sign of IPV6 in
the IPConfig for Gateway. If there was an entry:
"::1 Gateway" (less the "")
in either Hosts or LMHosts on Gateway, that would also cause this address
resolution anomaly.
