Malc,
This is where I would start.
Server is active on
NwlnkIpx (0013d4c226f6)
NetBT_Tcpip_{B9E8569E-CEA6-43E7-AD14-CDBBF2E9345E} (0013d4c226f6)
NetBT_Tcpip_{25F84006-C574-46E5-AA16-FD2F9DBFB428} (0013d4c2351f)
NetbiosSmb (000000000000)
NwlnkNb (000000000002)
Simplify that!
Rocket is your browse master, and Rocket has
1) 2 Ethernet adapters
2) IPX/SPX.
3) NetBEUI
Get rid of one Ethernet connection. Rocket right now is using "192.168.0.51"
and "192.168.0.52". That's one too many. Dual homed servers are a problem for
Windows Networking.
I would dispense with the nVidia nForce connection.

And get rid of IPX/SPX and NetBEUI, on both Laptop and Rocket!
