Networking only one way

I have a LaptopXP networked to a desktopXP via a Router and the desktop can
see the full network but the laptop cannot and I get a message Home is not
available. You might not have permission to use this network resource. The
network path was not found.
The laptop uses a wireless connection and the Desktop uses an ethernet
connection.I can ping the laptop from the desktp but the othreway |I get
Timed out.
I feel that it is some simple setting that is causing this and although I
have looked at all the posssible settings I can't get any further.
I have tiurned off both XPs Firewall
What can be causing this?
Blair

Are both PCs in the same Workgroup and is something actually shared on the
one you can't see?

Simple File & printer sharing or something else related to Windows XP.

You should try posting to the microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web
newsgroup. This newsgroup supports Microsoft's Broadband Networking
hardware and software only.

Don't pay malware vendors - boycott Sony & Symantec

Please do not contact me directly or ask me to contact you directly for
assistance.

If your question is worth asking, it's worth posting.

If it’s not worth posting you should have done a search on
http://www.google.com/ http://www.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg&q= or
http://news.google.com/froogle?hl=en&tab=nf&ned=us&q= before wasting our
time.

If I sound hostile or arrogant you need to read the following before
posting a question "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way" at
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html (The site I've linked
to just has this article I think people should read before posting a
technical question.)

I've taken your advice about contacting Microsoft Broadband Networking and
also heeded the wise words in your web sites
Thank you
Regards
Blair
