Both my laptop and desktop are running XP SP2. I have disabled Windows Firewall and uninstalled Zone Alarm on both systems. Both computers have the same workgroup name. On the desktop I can see and access the laptop. On the laptop I can see but I cannot access the desktop.

 

The desktop is wired directly to the router/modem.

The laptop is wireless.

They are successfully sharing an internet connection.

 

When at the laptop I can ping the desktop fine, but if I go to my workgroup and click on the desktop

I get the error message that it cannot be accessed, that I might not have permission to use the

network resource.

 

I am unsure as to what to do next.

 

Thanks,
