OK, Jason,
Let's start with the browstat logs.
> Browsing is NOT active on domain.
That's not the problem, but that's a good descriptive symptom. That's why you
can't see one computer from the other.

http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...lways-see.html
The browser requires NetBT. I don't see any indication that it's not active, on
both computers. For instance,

The most usual problem in this case would be a misconfigured or overlooked
personal firewall of anti-worm component, blocking SMBs. What anti-virus do you
use?

Other possibilities. Davis-Laptop has a nVidia network controller.

And IPV6. We still find situations where disabling IPV6 is the only solution.
