Networking desktop computer and laptop with crossover cable running xp pro

[Guest]

hell
ive got a desktop with cable internet and a crossover cable pluged into the desktop both running xp pro. ICS is working and the laptop is recieving an internet connection but it wont let me access the desktop computers hardisk or files. It does when i run the network wizard on both computers but then when they are restarted or switched on again it doesnt work and i get an error message that i dont have authorised access or sumthing to access the disks. Is there anyway for this to be fixed. ive had this problem before but a little while ago i had to reinstall windows and now the settings have returned to default. the solution to fixing it was very complicated and it was sumthing about the node type or sumthin
could someone please tell me how to fix this?
