Connecting to Destop from Laptop

[Guest]

I was conncecting to my desktop computer running XP from my laptop running
Vista for several weeks with no problem. Now all of a sudden I get a "access
denied see administrator for permission" when I try to access the desktop.
This is a home network and I am the only user/administrator. What happened?
Has a security setting somewhere got changed? The laptop will connect but
won't let me access any files.
