"Network Path Not Found ..."

PLEASE this is a long time issue which i have not yet resolved.

I have a PC desktop (Win 98 2nd ed) connected to a Dlink wireless router.
Also have a laptop (Win XP Home) in another part of the house, with a Dlink
wireless adapter.
In the past i have been able to share files from my laptop and desktop and
share printer without a problem. But it doesn't work anymore. Now I am not
able to access the PC from the laptop, nor the printer.

In the laptop control panel, I see my PC hardrive, and click on it to access
it, but
i get this message:
"Microsoft Windows Network: The network path not found.
The connection has not been restored."

HOW DO I RESTORE THIS CONNECTION?
What do i need to do in order to be able to access my PC from the laptop?

Thank you for all responses.

what's changed???firewall added? wep encryption? have you tried running the
newtork setup again on the laptop?
