I've tried your suggestions and still no luck. I do have more information though that will hopefully narrow it down.

"Remote Procedure Call (RPC) " isn't listed at all by itself on either computer. There is a "Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator" and it is "stopped".

"Wireless Zero Configuration" isn't listed at all on either computer either. I went into admin tools -> services to enable it and it is not even in the list there at all.

And one last bit of odd info, the router setup page is showing 2 additional IP addresses .64 and .65 on the network even though the only computers in the house are 2 and are .66 and .67

Even after a full, hard reset on the router these still show.

I can ping the laptop (.66) from the desktop (.67) just fine but not vice versa. You say this is almost always a firewall issue but it does not appear to be one unless you mean the firewall in the AT&T Uverse router that I cannot figure out how to disable completely. The closest I could come to disabling it completely is setting "DMZplus" to the desktop (.67) but even after that pings from the laptop to it are unsuccessful.

Horace PC is .66 and Wenona PC is .67
