After some more experimentation I seem to have got ping to work in both
directions, by means of the following:
1. There is a page in the router set-up which shows attached devices;
the laptop appears here as 192.168.0.3, for some reason.
2. I removed (instead of just stopping) shorewall and also bastille on
both machines.
I can now ping in both directions, using the above IP address for the
laptop. I don't fully understand what is happening but at least it seems
to be working so far.
