If one's wired and the other's wireless, and on 192.168.2.2 or so, that'll probably explain it; they're on different subnets (i.e. more than the last number is changing). If it's not that.. I'm not sure what else it might be. Firewall?
OK, I'm going to hide under a rock. This is the second network config issue which has been solved as soon as I've had it suggested I turn off the firewall... (In fairness it shouldn't be necessary because the firewall at both ends was definitely claiming to let local access through, but still... Now to sort out the fun of credentials between the machines, and introducing a third variation on a theme of Windows into the equation!)
I only program computers, I'm not a tech! (Thanks - you've helped delay baldness :-)) Greg
