Hey megreen, I had a problem similar to this and it turns out I had wifi on one machine and trying to connect to another machine via cat5. disconnecting from the wifi connection (not disabling wifi) solved my problems. with your it could be a similar solution except since all the rest of your pc's are using wifi except your laptop you could try getting one of those micro wifi adaptors for $10 and trying from there and also disconnect your cat5 cable. I think the mix of wired and wireless connections is throwing off the OS somehow. you would think windows would address it by now.
