When you try to ping it? That's weird. Can you post the result of the following for both computers:

Click on the Start menu. Click 'Run.' Type in 'cmd' and press Enter. Type the command 'ipconfig /all' and press enter.

Also, how are these two connected? Router, hub, crossover cable?

By chance is the laptop a Vista based OS? If so Google could be your best friend in solving this problem.
