A bit more info. I think I've realised why its happening but not sure how to fix it.
I suspect its something up with my router. If I ping my laptop it tells me "Reply from 192.168.1.163: Destination host unreachable" which is the computer i'm pinging FROM. If I attempt to connect to that laptop with the services mmc it fails, but I can then ping the laptop (as well as RDP). I'm a bit stumped why an attempted connection fixes the laptop's routing. Will do some searches now i've narrowed it down a little... I'm suspecting my firewall (Comodo) somehow. Thats the software you install that stops everything working. Happy Easter all!
