Network Configuration

I am running WINXP Pro SP2 on a laptop and desktop. The machines are
wireless networked with the desktop as host. Both machines share all files,
printer and connect to the internet, that is the network is functioning as
it should.

My question is when I open 'My Network Places' on either machines I only see
some of the partitions on the host machine (all (3 partitions) on the
laptop). To see the balance of the partitions on the desktop I need to open
'Entire Network'/'Mshome'. How do I change the configuration so that all
partitions are accessible either under 'My Network Places' or under 'Entire
Network/MsHome'?

In My Network Places, click "Add a network place" and manually add
shortcuts to the missing partitions.

You can also see all of the shared disks/folders/partitions on a
computer by typing that computer's name in the Start | Run box in this
format:
