network sharing problems!? need help

hi there

i have a desktop and a laptop connected to my router, laptop wireless
and desktop wired, before i had the desktop wireless but i changed it


anyway the problem is that since i changed the desktop to wired, i
cannot access the desktop shared folders from the laptop? but i can
access some of the folders on the laptop from the desktop, but i cant
paste files into the laptop folders

i pinged the laptop from the desktop and got nothing, but with an
application called "advanced ip scanner" it could notice the laptops ip
address as being connected to the network :huh:

so please help me out here, because my brother keeps nagging at me as
he wants to copy the vids from my comp lol

If you can access one computer from the other and you can't do the same the
other way around, then you have a permissions problem, because the computers
are sharing resources. But in some cases, your user account doesn't have
the permissions. And I'll assume that's the error message you're getting is
*Access Denied*.

What O/S(s) are these computers using?
