Totally confused on this problem, and have no idea on this issue! Waiting for reply from your side. Thanks

First try to connect to your network with your working place laptop by disabling your friends laptop connection on your home network, than I think the scanning of your UDP ports, might get stop, if it does than means you have to build any other address port or let your friend build an another port for getting connected to the network, as by doing this first your both computer access to network problem get sort out and also the scanning problem might also get solved.

As per your problem, your network have been disturb of interfered by your friend laptop so as per my suggestion you can use an additional firewall for your system i.e., ZoneAlarm Firewall 2010 as this is the best inbound and outbound O/S firewall at present and comfortable or can easy to use even for a new user, it protect your system from any outer network and allow and restrict any other software which tries to enter your network. So as after installing this firewall most probably your network issue will be gone.
