Michael,

How are the two computers connected? Do you know, for a certainty, that they
are connected, reliably? One of the basic checks is whether the network cable
is connected to a host (computer or other network device) at the other end, and
the status lights on a desktop network card are very useful here. With a
laptop, you don't get the status lights.

Please start by providing output from "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all",
complete and unedited, so we can decide what to look at next.
