As much as I am with you worrying about your relatives, this
conclusion is bulshit, to put it mildly. When you got mail
from Linux, you can also get Mail from Windows. And when you
do not hear from someone you love, there may be thousands of
reasons why this happens. Unless you KNOW FOR SURE, that a
virus originating from your linuy machine is the reason why
you do not get mail from other users, it is very likely to
assume other reasons.

Again, the very same applies.
Either you take a break or you fresh up your mind somehow.
Then let's step back and try to solve your problems, one by one.
After you return from your break, please issue this command
on your laptop:
sudo ifconfig
usually, one of the interfaces will have an address
beginning with 192.168.x.y
Then fire up one of your non working machines and issue the
same command, please.
Then report back, waht you found on both machines. This will
give us a first hint about your netwrok structure and
whether you problem machine will be on the netwrok or not.
Kind regards
Eberhard
