I'm assuming Denny meant to send this request for help to the public
forum, rather than to me privately.

 Hi Rick,

I hope this email finds you well.

Right now my desktop and my laptop can't ping one to another.

Here are the settings that I have so far for each machine.  The desktop is
connected to the router, and the laptop is using WIFI.

Again, I apologize for this lengthy email.  It's driving me nuts now why
these two machines can't communicate with each other.
I have a feeling that this has to do with the laptop IP 10.net.  But still
don't know where the problem is.

Thanks again for your time,
Denny
