The second ping is a loopback - ie PC pinging itself. How about the laptop pinging PC?

Also, can you confirm from the ipconfig /all on the laptop that the MAC address 00-02-3f-34-39-82 is correct. If it is, something on the laptop is blocking the ping - usually a firewall!

Another thing to try on the laptop is ping 127.0.0.1 (a loopback test), and also try pinging the 'problem' laptop from the other laptop.
