Jeff,
The "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" are most useful when compared between
computers. So far, I see that Desktop is the ICS host, is running NBT, and is
only seeing itself.
One of the most common causes of this problem would be a misconfigured or
overlooked personal firewall, but there are other possibilities too. What
antivirus are you using? Read this article, and linked articles.
