File Sharing Problems

[Mark B.]

I have 2 computers running XP Pro...one is a laptop with
a wireless card, the other a desktop with NIC card. I can
see both computers on the network and I can access files
on the laptop with the desktop but not the other way
round. I do not have any firewalls running, not even on
my wireless router. I have enabled NetBios over TCP/IP on
both computers and DHCP is enabled as well. I can print
but not file share. Help...I've been fighting with this
for 2 day and nights...I'm seeing double and have a
whopping headache. Tia
