I wish someone had an answer. My situation is idential.
The Broadband Network Utility does not list my Laptop
under "Networked Devices" nor does the laptop see the
desktop - yet both access the Internet just fine. I can
neither share files or printers - all shared and the
group name is identical - firewall disabled. PLEASE
HELP - this is a very common question!
Thanks,
Brian
