Are you using the correct IP address for the laptop? If you try to ping 
the IP of the wireless port of the laptop while it is actually connected 
by wire, you won't get a reply. Try the IP of the wired port instead. Run 
the "ifconfig" command on the laptop to find out which IP address it has 
on the wired port.
