Laptop to Desktop Barrier

I've networked my laptop with my desktop thru a d-link di-624, and I can see
the shared folder of the laptop from the desktop(and can ping the laptop),
but can't access the desktop from the laptop(can't get a ping response from
the desktop). I keep getting a "you may not have access permissions" error
from the laptop.

I've tried every parameter I know. What am I missing?

Thanks, ObiWans

Since you haven't told us what operating systems (and service pack
levels) are involved, you can't get a specific answer. However, here
