Name resolution seems to be fine, and networking seems to be fine (e.g. file
and print sharing). So something else must be blocking traffic destined for
port 80 on Sienna.

A firewall of some kind seems to be the most likely culprit. If you
temporarily disable the firewall on Sienna completely, does everything start
working? If so, then this is where you need to target your troubleshooting,
since the firewall configuration is what's stopping the traffic.

Cheers
