What's the physical setup you have - are the machines in the same room? (even the same building?) Pinging localhost is one thing, pinging other machines is much more useful though. For both the PC and the notebook check that you can ping other machines, starting with one that's physically close to the computer. Then ping a computer that's close to the other machine (unless they're already next to each other...). Have a look at the lights on your Ethernet port - are they flashing?
