After further experimentation I seem to have got things working, after
the following:
1. There is a page in the router set-up which shows Attached Devices.
The laptop appears here as 192.168.0.3, for some reason.
2. I removed (instead of just stopping) shorewall and also bastille on
both machines.
I can now ping in both directions. I don't fully understand what is
happening here but at least it seems to be working.
