Problem just started, unable to see area but can be seen on the other PC on the network - can connect to the area but no access to resources.

Have client with the latest Lenovo laptop, running Windows 7 Pro, part of a Windows 2008 domain. User never had problems earlier but takes off mobile out of office last week that he had then only on vacation. The user has Verizon Wireless for Internet access so that resign. User returned, connected area through the configuration of a connection without error, but was unable to access resources in any domain. No applications have been installed on the laptop so that it is on vacation. In windows Explorer, the user can see as other NAS PC's, printers, other devices on the network and able to access the Internet, but the doman and the server are missing from the list. The connection of the user from another PC to check the profile is ok, the user was able to resources in the domain from another PC. Had a different network user trying to connect on the laptop and had the same problem so I am confident that the problem is with the laptop itself and not domain or server. Also tried to disable the firewall on the computer laptop but did not help, empty DNS and other entries in cache but nothing helped. There were a few normal .net updates on laptop while resign but that was about it. Laptop is running Microsoft's Security Essentials for virus protection.

Any ideas on how to resolve the additional or possible causes?
