Sounds like a routing issue. On both computers, please run (as root):
ifconfig
route -n
On each computer, see if you can resolve the host name of the other,
e.g. on fred:
host barney
and on barney
host fred
and copy and paste the results into an email.

That could also be your problem. NFS, ARP, and many other network
services will cache data for quite a long time. Try assigning the new
laptop a new, different IP address.

That is at best a short term solution. There have been discussions of
ways of dealing with firewalls recently on this list.
