If those MAC addresses are for the network DNS then I suspect that's
your problem and you should remove them, and let your ISP provide you
with DNS via DHCP. Basically I suspect neither your PC or your Laptop
are configured as a DNS server and therefore cannot be used to resolve
web addresses. If you do require a static DNS IP address your ISP should
provide you with one.
