It might be worth doing an ipconfig /all on the laptop and one of your 
working PC's at home and compare the the two read outs, obviously the 
ip will be different but subnet, gateway, dns, and dhcp server should 
all be the same.

Try disabling the XP firewall (or any other you may have on the laptop) 
to see if that makes any differences.
