I'm having some intermittent trouble with networking my
desktop and laptop using a Linksys wireless router. Both
PC's have access to the internet, and I can ping each one
without any trouble from the other one. I've run the
networking wizard on both computers. The desktop can see
the laptop, but the laptop cannot see the desktop on the
my network places screen. The strange thing is that I
had this same problem when I first tried to set up the
network, and it inexplicably fixed itself, and has worked
just fine for a long time. Unfortunately, the network
stopped working for some reason 2 days ago, and I can't
figure out why.

Any thoughts?
 
Have you got the inbuilt firewall on your desktop disabled
