Check the firewall settings first.

If the notebook is using a wireless connection and the server is using a wired
connection to your router, the router may have a security option enable to
prevent wireless connections from seeing other connections, including the
wired connection. That security option must be disabled in the router. The
terminology may refer to connection sharing or similar. It's been a long time
since I had to deal with it.
