    Kind of strange. The only significant difference I see until yet is that you
    have a DNS claimed for your Laptop and none fore the desktop PC. But that
    should not be the point. I think I would like to agree with Clives opinion
    that your router doesn't do a complete job. Normally in your network a ping
    should go in both directions...

    Can you try another one?
