A lot of wireless routers have a feature where they will isolate users of the network from each other. So you can see all the other computers on your internal (wired) network from machines on the network but you cannot see laptop-1 from laptop-2 when they are both on the wireless.

The airport / time-machine has this, and most routers targeted at enterprises do as well.

Can you SSH or hit a website hosted on your laptop while at your office?
