Been having problems with my network on my Windows 7 pro laptop.

I have especially got problems when trying to play Borderlands. I host network games and sometimes my friend connects and plays. But then randomly we sit down to play and he connects and sees my game in the game list but he can't connect. Sometimes he can’t connect to my laptop at all. Sometimes he can ping me but I can't ping him back. What could be causing all these problems? It is just weird that it sometimes works and sometimes it does not when I have not changed any settings.

I just need some guidance where to look.
 
Check your Network settings, make sure it's set to 'Home Network' and not 'Public Network'

One of my machines was set to Public after installing a new router, went crazy trying to find the problem
