Ping is an ICMP request and if windows firewall does not allow to answer any ICMP requests, you won't be able to ping your wife's computer or the other way around.

to change this :
Go to control panel
click on windows firewall
on the advanced tab click ICMP settings and you make sure Allow echo request is ticked.

Hope this helps.

You attempted to access a resource that is not available to you. It is possible that: (1) you do not have a valid account on the server sharing the resource; or (2) your account on this server has not been granted the permissions necessary to access the resource.

Make sure you specify the correct name of the resource that you want to use, then retry the command. If you are still denied access, contact your network administrator.

Turn off any firewalls for debugging. If the firewall is the problem, you'll have to configure it to allow access to "trusted zone" addresses. Note that some firewalls must be completely uninstalled to stop them from affecting your networking.

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt.

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following commands:

PING each remote computer by IP address, and if successful, PING by name. Open a command prompt as described above and type.

PING <ip address>
or
PING <computer name>

Where:
<ip address> - is the x.x.x.x IP address
<computer name> - is the computer name

A failure to PING is almost always a firewall configuration issue. Any failure to PING needs to be corrected before you go any farther.

Note: You can obtain the IP address and computer name of a computer by opening a command prompt (DOS window) and typing IPCONFIG /ALL. This should work for any Windows version. The IPCONFIG /ALL display will provide a wealth of useful information for debugging your network connection.

Check your Services are Started on all PCs:

1. COM+ Event System (for WZC issues)
2. Computer Browser
3. DHCP Client
4. DNS Client
5. Network Connections
6. Network Location Awareness
7. Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
8. Server
9. TCP/IP Netbios helper
10. Windows Zero Configuration (wireless configurations)
11. Workstation

Setup attempted to redirect (connect) a local device to a remote resource on the network, but access to the remote resource was denied. This is most likely to happen during maintenance Setup, rather than at initial installation.

Click Retry in the message box to retry the operation. If you get the same message, contact your network administrator to find out the state of the remote resource and how you can access it. After you resolve that, retry the operation.
