Default Cant connect to Win7 x86 laptop

Keep getting the error the network path was not found, thing is both are set to use the same workgroup, same ip range and subnet, the laptop can connect to the main pc but not the other way around.

net view \\hostname = error 53 path not found
net view \\192.168.1.3 = error 53 path not found

both firewalls are set to allow each other through, and netbios is on.

So im stumped atm

I had that once with everything turned on. Reload windows was the only published option at microsoft.....

Why? I can see not using them if you have vista or something. But if you have seven on all the pc's it is pretty good to have ..
