That all looks hunky-dory then. - See, told you we could sort it out....

I See you have the Messenger service running on the laptop....  Since it's
not running on the XP desktop machine, you may as well disable the
messenger
service on the laptop, - unless of course its a work one and you have to
have that service enabled for use on other networks....

The messenger service is now unfortunately mostly used just for sending
spam...
